INTENTION OF THE DAY: For vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and
the religious life.

OPENING PRAYER: We fly to thy protection, O holy Mother of God.
Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us from all
dangers O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

REFLECTION: “A great sign appeared in Heaven: a woman adorned with the
sun, standing on the moon, and with twelve stars on her head as a crown”
(Rev 12:1). The stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel, God’s
chosen people, and the holy apostles. Our Lady is the Queen of
priests and their Mother. We pray that the Pope, the bishops, priests,
deacons, religious, and consecrated men and women of the Church
may set themselves close to Our Lady as her crown, and that women,
men and children everywhere may offer themselves totally to God.

We pray for the intentions of all our Dioceses in England and Wales
and for our Bishops. We pray for vocations to the Priesthood and for
a flourishing of seminary life. We pray for all seminarians and for
those in the process of discernment. We pray in thanksgiving for our
Religious Orders both active and enclosed, and for Deacons.

PRAYER: Father, you raised the Mother of your Son to the glory of Heaven,
grant through her intercession that the hearts and minds of all may be
open to your call, so that loving you above all things we may be signs of
your presence, and ardent but gentle servants of the Gospel.

Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be…
Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us.
St Joseph, pray for us.
St Edward the Confessor, pray for us.
