Dearly beloved in Christ, today is Good Shepherd Sunday or Vocation Sunday - a day in which the Church encourages priests, religious and lay faithful to offer special prayers for vocations to the priesthood and religious life especially during the general intercessions at Mass.The Church equally expects ministers of the word to give a special homily on vocations to encourage young men and women to take to the priestly and religious life, as well as for parents to willingly offer their children to work in God's vineyard.
