World Day for Consecrated Life PDF Print E-mail
The weekend of February 2-3, 2003 is designated for the celebration of the World Day for Consecrated Life in dioceses throughout the United States.

We offer our Vocation Prayer as a way of remembering our own part in the life of the Church and pray that others may join in this work with us.

God whose power is love and whose heart is infinite,
you have called the Religious of the Sacred Heart
to discover and reveal your love.
by living as women of the pierced heart of Christ,
attentive both to your presence
and to the anguish and hope of your people.

Keep them faithful to your longings for them:
contemplative in spirit and mission
desirous of communion in a multicultural world
generous in forgiveness and reconciliation
and passionate for justice, peace, and the integrity of creation.

By their witness,
attract other women to this same spirit
and mission.

Join to their number those who
have a personal love of Jesus Christ
and are great-hearted
and ready to reveal your face.

Give them companions who,
despite the ambiguities of this age,
will lean on the love of their sisters
as they root their lives in you.

Invite to the Society of the Sacred Heart
those who are generous and joy-filled like Madeleine Sophie,
those who are courageous and daring like Philippine,
and renew all Religious of the Sacred Heart in these habits of heart.

We ask this in confidence and hope through Christ,
risen and reigning with you and the Spirit,
now and forever. Amen
