Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Church and He is the Good Shepherd. Our place in the Church depends on our relationship with the Cornerstone. The Good Shepherd knows what is best for us and wants to guide us to our greatest joys. God wills only what's best for us, so we should discern His will and follow Him.

Ascensions Prayer for Vocations
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of life and the gift of faith; born of Your infinite love. We ask you to bless our diocese with selfless hearts, willing to worship and serve You in Your Church.
Lord Jesus, we ask You to raise up saints from our homes, as called by the Father; providing courageous and humble men to the holy Priesthood, faithful servants to Consecrated Life, and holy men and women to the Sacrament of Matrimony.
Holy Spirit, help us live out our universal call to holiness, by listening to the Father’s voice and gratefully responding with a surrendering and sacrificial love.
Holy Mary, Model of Vocations, teach us to hear and follow your Son Jesus.
Holy Mary, Queen of Priests, sanctify our priests and obtain for us many more.
Holy Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, show us the Way to the Heart of your Son.
Holy Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for our families and children to be holy.
Ascension Catholic Church, Chesterfield 2020
