GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY
PRIEST TRAINING FUND
TODAY is GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY and our second collection will support the Priest Training Fund. This fund pays for the priestly formation of men for the Catholic priesthood. There are currently 49 men studying at Allen Hall seminary, 13 of whom are from our own Diocese.
We also have one seminarian in Valladolid and one at the Beda, presently on pastoral placement in Ruislip. There are also two on a propaedeutic year at Redemptoris Mater. Last year 3 deacons were ordained for Westminster Diocese. The Priest Training Fund also supports the ongoing enrichment and formation of our ordained priests.
Your gift ensures we can provide training for these men responding to Christ’s call to dedicate their lives to serve God’s people.
Please be as generous as you can. Please also pray for vocations and for all our priests. If you do not have a donation envelope, plenty are still available at the back of the church. You can use the QR code to make your donation online or visit www.rcdow.org.uk/donations . Thank you for your generosity.
PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Lord Jesus Christ, Guide and Shepherd of your people,
touch the hearts of our young people, that they may, for the love of you
give their lives in the service of the Church.
Renew the hearts of priests, that they may model their lives on the mystery of the Cross
and imitate the Sacred Mysteries they celebrate at the altar.
Strengthen our families, that they may generously support those of their sons
whom you call to serve you as priests. Amen

PRAY FOR PEACE
God of peace, bearer of hope,
We seek your help
For the peoples of the Middle East.
Quiet the clamour of war
And guide us towards peace.
Where there is hatred and division
Sow seeds of calm and openness.
Where there is destruction
Help us to rebuild.
Where children are crying
Bring an end to tears.
Shelter your peoples and protect them
Guide them and keep them from harm.
Show us how to break down the barriers of history and fear
And breathe whispers of hope.
Amen.
Linda Jones / CAFOD

PRAYER OF ST THERESE OF LISIEUX FOR PRIESTS (please pray often for this intention)
O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests labouring at home or abroad in distant mission fields;
for your tempted priests; for your lonely and desolate priests;
for your young priests; for your dying priests;
for the souls of your priests in Purgatory.
But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me;
the priest who baptised me; the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted
and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way.
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, and bless them
abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen
