Prayer for the Year of Consecrated Life
Begins: First Sunday of Advent November 30, 2014
Closing: World Day of Consecrated Life February 2, 2016
Heavenly Father, most good and gracious God, we give you thanks for the wisdom of the Church to designate a
year dedicated to the vocation of the consecrated life.
We implore you to bless and guide the Glenmary Sisters as they daily live their calling as consecrated women to
serve You in the mission areas of the southern LJnited States and Appalachia. Bless them with renewed energy,
insight, and faithfulness to witness to You in service of the rural poor. Gift them with the virtues they need in
order to grow in their own holiness and to live as true witnesses in total service to Your Son, Jesus Christ.
We ask you to please send your Holy Spirit upon young women whom You have chosen to join in this holy minis-
try. Please guide them and give them the courage to say
"yes" and join the Glenmary Sisters in this most important
ministry to the poor. May they be graced with courage and
wisdom, and may they be filled with the desire to serve You
in the consecrated life.
We ask for the intercession of Our Holy Mother, Mary. May
she pray with us daily throughout this Year of Consecrated
Life that we all may live out our vocations in a way most
pleasing to You.
We ask all of this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, who lives
and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and
ever. Amen
