Devotions

To be perfect in oneʼs vocation, is nothing else than to perform the duties and offices to which one is obliged, solely for the honor and love of God, referring all to His glory. Whoever works in this manner, may be called perfect in his state, a man according to the heart and will of God.

St. Francis de Sales (A Year with the Saints, 1891)


  Prayer for Novena for the purpose of increasing vocations to the priesthood and religious life

(At the solicitation of Monsignor Schrembs, bishop of Clevelan, the Holy Father, Pius XI, granted a Plenary Indulgence to those who make a public novena for the purpose of increasing vocations to the priesthood and religious life throughout the country).

Antiphon: Why stand ye here all the day idle? Go ye also into my vineyard.
Response: Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the Harvest, that He send forth laborers into His harvest.

Let us pray: O God, who dost not desire the death of a sinner, but rather that he be converted and live, grant, we beseech Thee, through the intercession of the Blessed Mary ever Virgin, and of all the saints, and increase of laborers for Thy Holy Church, who, co-operating with Christ, may give themselves and spend themselves for the salvation of souls. Through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.

(Western Catholic, Quincy, Illinois; Volume 32, Number 50, 6 September 1929)
