CITY OF THE VATICAN, Thursday, 29 March 2006 (ZENIT.org). - In the face of the shortage of priests and consecrated that it experiences the Church, XVI Benedicto he/she has taken paper and feather to request more sentence to all the Catholics.
"The priest's mission in the Church is insustituible. Therefore, although in some regions a decrease of the clergy is given, it is not necessary to never lose the certainty that Christ will continue raising men that, as the apostles, leaving to a side all occupation, be devoted totally to the celebration of the sacred mysteries, to the preaching of the Gospel, and to the pastoral ministry", he affirms.
They are lines of the message that has written with reason of the XLIII World Day of Sentence for the Vocations that he/she will take place May 7 and that it was published this Thursday by the Room of Press of the Santa Headquarters.
When deepening in the topic of the day, "The vocation in the mystery of the Church", the Pope also analyzes the call to the consecrated life, that is to say, the vocation of men and women that you "they consecrate to Christ's total and exclusive pursuit."
After remembering Jesus' recommendation: "The harvest is much and the few workers. Request, because, to the Owner of the harvest that sends workers to their harvest" (Mateo 9, 37), the Pope affirms: "we experience the necessity to pray for the vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life vividly."
"It doesn't surprise that there where one prays with fervor the vocations they flourish", it verifies, because "the sanctity of the Church depends essentially on the union with Christ and of the opening to the mystery of the grace that acts in the heart of the believers."
For this reason he/she leaves an advice to the a thousand millions of Catholic of the world: "to cultivate an intimate relationship with Christ, teacher and shepherd of their town, imitating María that guarded in their heart the divine mysteries and he/she meditated them with assiduity."
