With the Church now having entered a new year, the National Office for Vocation will upload a video reflection each week for Advent focusing on a different state of life that God can call individuals to, as well as reflecting on the weekly Sunday Gospel.

This week’s reflection is from Hannah, a consecrated virgin living in the Archdiocese of Southwark. Please see our Advent Video Reflections page by clicking here.

Mackenzie Robinson, a Benedictine Oblate, has written a thought-provoking reflection for Advent, as we wait for coming of the light of Christ.

Sometimes we need time away from our normal schedules to relax, pray and reflect.  An online retreat offers you the time and opportunity to pay attention to God and be more aware of God’s work in your life.

The Day of Prayer for Vocations (also known as Vocations Sunday) will be celebrated this coming Sunday 3rd May.  You are very welcome to download our resources to help promote this day, which, due to the current climate, are designed for online use.

Please click here to view this year’s resources, which include images to post on social media, a Vocations Sunday prayer and some personal vocation stories.

A new website is available offering online resources to help people live through the coronavirus pandemic. These come from those with experience of social distancing or isolation, people who have lived this reality either intentionally like monks and nuns or against their will like hostages or the housebound. This is a new and difficult journey

for most people, but experienced guides give us hope along the way. Please visit www.alonetogether.org.uk to access these resources.
