Heart of Jesus, formed by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mother,
Have mercy on us and bring us vocations.
Heart of Jesus burning furnace of charity,
Have mercy on us and send us vocations.
Heart of Jesus, desire of the everlasting hills, 
Have mercy on us and bring us vocations.
Heart of Jesus, pierced with a lance, 
Have mercy on us and send us vocations.
Heart of Jesus, our life and resurrection,
Have mercy on us and bring us vocations.

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
O royal Banquet! Heavenly Feast! 
O flowing fount of life and grace
Where God the giver, man the quest, 
Unite, as one, in sweet embrace.

Traditionally, rogation days were celebrated on the feast of St. Mark (April 25) and the three days preceding the Ascension of Our Lord. Though best known as a prayer for farmers, the rogation litany actually encompasses the whole world, beseeching God for the needs of all humanity. It is composed of three sections. The first invokes by name many Saints from all categories: angels, patriarchs, prophets, apostles, evangelists, martyrs, popes, confessors, doctors, virgins, and widows. In the second section, we ask God to liberate us from sin, from sudden death, from snares of the devil, and from all kinds of natural disasters. At this time in history as we face the Covid 19 pandemic, our hearts are deeply moved as we pray, “From plague, famine, and war, liberate us Lord.” All these things we ask through the mysteries of Christ’s life, from His incarnation and Birth to His death and Resurrection, and through the coming of the Holy Spirit until the Day of Judgment. The third section consists of numerous prayers for peace, unity, and salvation in the Church. The response to each petition is “Te rogamus, audi nos” “We ask you, hear us “We conclude by asking Our Lord to reward our benefactors, to give and preserve the fruits of the earth, and to grant eternal rest to all the faithful departed. As we chant this powerful litany, the prioress blesses the monastery grounds with holy water.
