YEAR OF PRAYER FOR CONSECRATED LIFE.
Pope Francis has inaugurated a special Year of Prayer for Consecrated Life. The Year begins this Sunday, the First Sunday in Advent. The Year will conclude on the Feast of the Presentation on 2nd February 2016.
Bishop Donal invites the people of the Diocese to join in this worldwide prayer intention for vocations to the Consecrated Life and to Priesthood. The Bishop has asked us to say the special prayer you see on the opposite page and we are also asked to pray the Angelus once a day.
The Diocese is grateful for the fidelity and witness of the religious women and men who contribute to the Church in so many ways. The diocese also holds in high regard, the many families of faith who have supported a sister, a brother, an aunt, an uncle, a daughter, a son in their commitment to the vowed life.
In the Diocese of Derry there are different forms of Consecrated Life being lived by committed women and men; Good Shepherd Sisters, Loreto Sisters, Sister of the Holy Family of Bordeaux, Sisters of Mercy, Sisters of Nazareth, Christian Brothers, Order of Discalced Carmetlites, Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, Order of Virgins.
Please remember in your prayers native women and men of the Dioceses of Derry who are ministering in every corner of the world. May our prayers during this year bear fruit as we ask the Lord of the Harvest to send more labourers to work for the coming of the kingdom.
