Our Vocation
Our Vocation
by Saint John Paul II
Lord Jesus, as once you called the first disciples and made them fishers of men,
continue to let resound today Your sweet invitation: “Come and follow me.”
Grant to men and women in our day the grace and trust to respond to Your voice.
Sustain our bishops, priests and consecrated souls in their apostolic work.
Give perseverance to our seminarians and to all those living a life of total consecration to Your service.
Enkindle in our communities a missionary zeal.
Send, Lord, workers into Your fields to feed and guide Your flock as Good Shepherds in imitation of You.
Mary, Mother of the Church, Model of Vocations,
help us to say “Yes” to the Lord who calls each one of us to play our part in His plan of salvation. Amen.
1. Incarnation-Consecration-Mission is an Apostolic Society with the Diocese Right, consisting of clergy and religious brothers who share the same Charism. Its fundamental elements are fraternal life and Evangelization mission.
2. It is the Holy Spirit as the material cause, the formal cause, the effective cause, and the final cause, through our Founder, formed us and sent us out as missionary apostles.
3. We commit ourselves to live out this charism through a private vow, observing the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience in our fraternal life.
