Sunday, May 15, 2011 is the 48th Annual World Day of Prayer for Vocations, and so this week's novena is an obvious choice. The Prayer for Vocations to the Priestly and Religious Life reminds us both of the sacrifice that men make in order to become priests and the need for such men to conform their lives to Christ.
While, worldwide, vocations are near their highest point in decades, the Church still needs a few good men. With that in mind, after this novena has ended, please continue to pray this prayer as part of your daily prayers.
If you have a favorite novena that you'd like me to choose as Novena of the Week, or if you'd like me to suggest a novena for a particular intention, send me an e-mail, and I'll work it into the rotation.
