Intro to Mass for Vocations

Intro to Mass for Vocations         Tuesday, 13 Week of Year (Mt 8 23-27)
In today’s gospel reading we see Jesus getting into the boat with his disciples. 
A storm broke over the lake.  Their plea to him was, ‘Save us Lord, we are going down’.
That is how many in the Church often feel today about themselves
and about who will safeguard their spiritual lives. 
Today we are offering Mass for more vocations to care for and to nourish, not just save, our lives.
We pray for more priests and religious in the Church to give their lives, committed to the service of men and women and as a witness to God’s undying love for us.
We should take courage, even from the rebuke Jesus gave his disciples
in today’s gospel: ‘Why are you so frightened, you of little faith?
