NATIONAL PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

to the SECULAR FRANCISCAN ORDER

 

O, Good and Gracious God,

God of mercy, compassion, generosity, and love,

As we live our lives today in the model of St. Francis,

       choosing daily to live the Gospel life,

Help us to help others hear Your call.

Help us to help others to recognize

       their vocation as a Secular Franciscan

       that You have already planted in their heart.

Help us, so that together we all may work

to bring the Gospel to life.  

Amen!

"The Church expects from the Secular Franciscan order, one and only, a great service in the cause of the Kingdom of God in the world today ... the Church expects from you, Secular Franciscans, a courageous and consistent testimony of Christian and Franciscan life, leaning towards the construction of a more fraternal and Gospel world for the realization of the Kingdom of God."

Blessed John Paul II
