Bishop Vono is hosting the Aspirancy Weekend at St. Thomas of Canterbury in Albuquerque this weekend. Members of the Standing Committee, Bishop's School for Ministries, the Commission on Ministry and Canon's to the Ordinary attend these meetings with aspirants. The purpose of the weekend is a time of prayer, vocation, reflection and conversation. Those in attendance assist Bishop Vono in discerning the vocation of people to ordained ministry.
Please keep all in your prayers.
For the choice of fit persons for the ministry
O God, you led your holy apostles to ordain ministers in every place: Grant that your Church, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, may choose suitable persons for the ministry of Word and Sacrament, and may uphold them in their work for the extension of your kingdom; through him who is the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
For all Christians in their vocation
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers, which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
