Let Your Light Shine
Sunday, February 6, 2011

World Day for Consecrated Life will be celebrated in the United States on February 6, 2011. The theme for this year is: “LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE”— a theme found in the Gospel reading for February 6th.

At the invitation of Bishop David A. Zubik, some of the Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh will be attending a noon mass for members of consecrated life and a reception on Sunday, February 6, 2011 at St. Paul Cathedral.

We invite you to join us in celebrating World Day for Consecrated Life by remembering the members of all religious communities, both women and men, in your prayer. Also, please pray for vocations.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS:

Radiant God,
We offer you our praise and thanks
for creating us and all of creation out of love.

You sent your son, Jesus,
as the Light of the World to shine forth your goodness.
You call us, like Jesus, to let our light shine
by sharing our bread with the hungry, sheltering the
homeless, clothing those in need and removing
oppression from our midst.

Consecrate us through prayer and service.
May holiness shine forth from us
so that others may come to know and love you.

Bless our Church with men and women
who dedicate their live to you
through the consecrated life.

Be a lamp to light our way now and always. Amen
