The Pope sent a letter to the priests of the world for the occasion of the Year for Priests, which has been called to mark the 150th anniversary of the death of St. John Mary Vianney. Click here to read the letter on the website of the Vatican:
Loving God,
Jesus urged us to pray
for workers for the harvest.
Through the intercession
of Saint Willibrord, patron saint
of our diocese, we ask you:
call young people to follow Jesus
as a priest, a deacon or in
consacrated life.
Through your Holy Spirit,
grant them the strength
to answer their calling.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
