With a foreword by Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, this 48-page booklet compiles the prayers that concluded John Paul II's World Day of Prayer for Vocations messages from 1979 to 2005. These heartfelt invocations are statements of faith in the Lord of the Harvest, underscoring the prominent themes of the annual messages. They serve to remind all believers of the urgent need earnestly to implore Heaven so that many young people will generously respond to the call to serve the Church as priests, religious and missionaries.
From Archbishop Dolan's forward: “It is my hope that this booklet of vocation prayers...might provide the grace needed so that young people prayerfully discern their calling to total service of the Kingdom.”
