Prayer for Vocations

For all men and women now discerning their vocation in Christ, that they will have confidence in Him, who calls them each as members of His body.
We pray to the Lord.

“Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation.” May Christ be asking you to discern a vocation to proclaim the Gospel as a priest or consecrated religious, speak to your local priest or Diocesan Vocations Director, or email the National Vocations Office: email: info@vocations.ie

The Ascension of the Lord – Go out to the whole world

Today marks the 55th World Communications Day, and the theme for this year is ‘Come and See: Communicating by encountering people where and as they are’. In his message to mark the occasion, Pope Francis emphasises the importance of meeting people where they are, just as Jesus did with those he encountered: ‘We need to go and see them for ourselves, to spend time with people, to listen to their stories and to confront reality, which always in some way surprises us.’ All communication, he says, should strive to be clear and honest, whether in the media, on the internet, in the Church’s preaching, or in social interaction.
He has a particular message for all who use social media: ‘Thanks to the internet we have the opportunity to report what we see, what is taking place before our eyes, and to share it with others. At the same time, the risk of misinformation being spread on social media has become evident to everyone… All of us are responsible for the communications we make, for the information we share, for the control that we can exert over fake news by exposing it. All of us are to be witnesses of the truth: to go, to see and to share.’
It is fitting that this day coincides with the Feast of the Ascension. Before he is taken into heaven, Jesus issues his final instruction: ‘Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation.’ Our challenge is to communicate by encountering people, where they are and as they are.
‘Teach us to go out and see,
teach us to listen,
not to entertain prejudices
or draw hasty conclusions.’
Pope Francis’ message for the 55th World Communications Day
