The purpose of this day, set aside annually on the 4th Sunday of Easter, also known as “Good Shepherd Sunday,” is to fulfill the Lord’s instruction to “ask the master of the harvest to send laborers for the harvest.” (Lk 10:2b) Please join in praying the Augustinian Prayer for Vocations found in the prayer fold card, Prayer in the Augustinian Tradition (English, Spanish).
In his message for this 2021 World Day of Prayer for Vocations, Pope Francis reminds all of us, “Only by abandoning ourselves confidently to grace, setting aside our own programs and comforts, can we truly say ‘yes’ to God. And every ‘yes’ bears fruit because it becomes part of a larger design.”
