Pope Francis ordains 19 deacons during Mass in St Peter Basilica on the 56th World Day of Prayer for Vocations.

"We are his flock and we must only strive to listen to his voice, while with love he scrutinizes the sincerity of our hearts," he said.

Will you make a special effort to ask the Lord for more vocations to the priesthood?

"Every vocation is a summons not to stand on the shore, nets in hand, but to follow Jesus on the path he has marked out for us, for our own happiness and for the good of those around us."
