HOLY HOUR FOR VOCATIONS
READING I: Mark 1:9-11
It happened in those days
that Jesus came from
On coming out of the water he
saw the heavens being town open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon
him.
And a voice came from the
heavens, “You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased.”
HOLY HOUR FOR VOCATIONS
READING II: John 15:13-14, 15b-16
Jesus said to his disciples:
“No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s
friends. You are my friend if you do
what I command you.
… I have called you friends,
because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose
you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever
you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
HOLY HOUR FOR VOCATIONS
READING III: Is. 6:1-8
In the year King Uzziah died,
I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of his garment
filling the temple. Seraphim were
stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces,
with two they veiled their feet, and with two they hovered aloft.
They cried one to the other,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts!
All the earth is filled with his glory!”
At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was
filled with smoke.
Then I said, “Woe is me, I am
doomed! For I am a person of unclean
lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of Hosts!” Then one of the
seraphim flew to me, holding an ember that he had taken with tongs from the
altar.
He touched my mouth with it
and said, “See, now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is
removed, your sin purged.”
Then I heard the voice of the
Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who
will go for us?”
“Here I am,” I said, “send
me!”
