PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

We beg you Father, through the inter-

cession of Mary, the Mother of the Church to

bless all who share in and support priestly,

diaconate and religious vocations.

Strengthen the spiritual renewal of

every priest, deacon and religious that your

Church may bear strong witness to your

presence in the world.

May all Christians answer the call of

Jesus, ‘come follow me’ and guide chosen

ones to heed His call as priests, deacons,

brothers and sisters. We plead with you to

grant this prayer, through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

Although there is no public celebration

of the Mass, your priests are celebrat-

ing the Mass each day privately.

Your Intentions are being remembered

at Mass and we are praying for every-

one’s health and well-being.

Our churches are remaining closed for

the time being in order to help ensure

everyone’s safety.

Please check our parish website

www.saintedmunds.com for updates

My Jesus, I believe that you are present

We recall and commemorate the events of our salvation as we begin Holy Week.

As we remember the suffering and death of Jesus, we are drawn more deeply into the mystery of God’s stead-fast love for all humanity: God so loved the world that he sent his only Son that all may be saved.
