"Vsemogocni Bog
Naj nas s svojim duhom navdahne,
Da ja naša dolžnost
Z ljubeznijo iskati srca,
Da se obrnejo od nepotrebnega
In mislijo bolj na svojo dušo."
Sv. Gregorij Veliki


O God, You look upon Your people
with compassion, and rule them with love.
Through the intercession of Pope
Saint Gregory, give wisdom to the leaders
of Your Church that the growth of Your people in holiness and love of You may be the everlasting joy of our pastors. Amen.

PRAYER FOR POPE FRANCIS

O God, who in your providential design
willed that your Church be built
upon blessed Peter,
whom you set over the other Apostles,
look with favour, we pray,
on Francis our Pope
and grant that he,
whom you have made Peter’s successor,
may be for your people a visible source
and foundation of unity in faith and of
communion.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity
of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever. Amen.  (March 17, 2013)


HVALA TI, JANEZ PAVEL VELIK!
DOBRODOŠEL, NAŠ PASTIR!
Molitev za Duhovne Poklice
Ne bojte se Kristusa!
Božji Sin, ki te je Oce poslal ljudem vseh casov
in k ljudem na vseh koncih zemlje!
Priporocamo se ti po Mariji, tvoji in naši Materi:
daj, da v Cerkvi ne bo primanjkovalo poklicev,
zlasti tistih, ki se posebej posvecajo Tvojemu kraljestvu.

Jezus, edini clovekov Odrešenik!
Prosimo te za svoje brate in sestre,
ki so pritrdilno odgovorili na tvoj klic v duhovništvo,
v posveceno življenje in v misijone.
Daj, da se bo njihovo življenje prenavljalo dan za dnem
in postalo živ evangelij.

Usmiljeni in sveti Gospod,
še naprej pošiljaj nove delavce
na žetev v svojem kraljestvu!
Pomagaj tistim, ki jih klices,
naj hodijo za teboj v tem našem casu:
Daj, da bodo, zazrti v tvoj obraz,
z veseljem odgovarjali na cudovito poslanstvo,
ki si jim ga zaupal v blagor svojega ljudstva in vseh ljudi.

Ti, ki si Bog in z Ocetom in Svetim Duhorn
živiš in kraljuješ vekomaj. Amen.
papež Janez Pavel II.
molitveni dan za duhovne poklice 2004
Mi živimo, da bi ljudem pokazali Boga.
Samo tam, kjer je videti Boga, se zares zacne življenje.
Samo kadar v Kristusu srecamo živega Boga,
spoznamo, kaj je življenje.
Nismo slucajni in brezsmiselni produkt evolucije.
Vsak od nas je sad Božje misli.
Vsak od nas je hoten, vsakdo je ljubljen, vsakdo je potreben.
Nic lepšega ni kot to, da ga spoznamo
in drugim posredujemo prijateljstvo z njim.

Kdor sprejme Kristusa, ne izgubi nicesat,
prav nicesar od tistega, kar osvobaja življenje,
kar ga olepša in povelica. Ne!
Samo v tem prijateljstvu se na stežaj odpro vrata življenja.
Samo v tem prijateljstvu se resnicno sprostijo
velike možnost cloveškega bivanja.
Samo v tem prijateljstvu izkušamo tisto,
kar je lepo in kar osvobaja.
Na vso moc in kar se da prepricljivo vam želim reci:
Ne bojte se Kristusa! Ne jemlje nicesar, daje pa vse.
Kdor se njemu izroci, prejme stoterno.
Da, odprite, na stežaj odprite vrata Kristusu -
in našli boste pravo življenje.

papež Benedikt XVI.

Slovenian Coat of Arms to be found on the floor of the Upper Slovenian Parish Hall.
A white shield bearing
on top: three golden, six-pointed stars, forming a triangle, followed by a golden bending line.
Below: a stylised Mount Triglav in red, followed by stylised water in blue, representing the Adriatic Sea, Triglav Lakes Valley, and rivers.
(creator unknown)

The stars are taken from the coat of arms of the Counts of Celje


Georg Matthäus Vischer: Celje (Cilli), pen-and-ink drawing, 1681

   On the left: Arms of the Counts of Celje (G. van Ceely): Azure, three six-pointed mullets in or
   Crest: A wing charged with the arms. Mantling azure, semé of mullets as in the arms. From "Wapenboeck" par Gelre ca. 1370 - 1386. The original is archived in the Royal Library in Brussels.

These arms originated with the Counts of Vovbre/Heunburg, whose heirs were in fact the Counts of Celje (in the mother's line).
