我們的團社為了要增強聖召尤其是對華人的聖召，要開始「厄里亞柸」節目。「厄里亞柸」是一個在彌撒中用的至聖的柸爵。在每個主日彌撒中領了聖事後，由某位教友或家庭帶著此柸回去供奉於家中。每日他們以自己的心意祈禱，並且訟誦聖召禱文及玫瑰經。然後把此柸在下一個主日帶回教堂以輪給下一個教友或家庭。
為什麼這個節目稱為「厄里亞柸」呢？在列王記上第十七章紀載，在荒災時期，厄里亞先知告訴漆冬匝爾法特一個窮苦的寡婦用她最後的一點麵粉及油做成了麵包。他說直到荒災渡過，她的裝麵粉的瓦罐及裝油的瓶就不再空了。次年她及她的兒子和厄里亞以這個麵包渡日。如果我們以漆冬匝爾法特寡婦那樣的信德來祈求，我們的柸就永不乾了。我們總會有神父給予我們基督聖事的。
聖召禱文
主耶穌！世人的善牧！祢降臨世上，是為尋找亡羊，使他們得救。祢又曾召宗徒作漁人的漁夫。我們懇求祢，召選那些熱忱慷慨的青年作地上的鹽，世界的光，實行福音全德的願望，奉獻自己，共同努力，建設你的奧體教會，及拯救世人；求祢也賞賜那些已蒙召者以明智、忍耐和剛毅，在世間顯揚你的光榮，拓展你的神國，領導祢付托給他們的靈魂，得到永遠的生命。亞孟。
Our community will start the Elijah Cup program to pray for vocations, especially for vocations coming from the Chinese community. The Elijah Cup is a consecrated chalice which has been used during Mass. Each Sunday at Mass after Holy Communion, a family or an individual will be called to take the Elijah Cup to be placed in a place of honor in their home. Every day for a week, they will pray for vocations; in addition to the Prayer for Vocations, they can also pray the rosary or use their own words. In the following Sunday, they return the Elijah Cup which in turn will be passed on to the next family or individual.
Why is this program called the Elijah Cup? In 1 Kings 17, during a drought, the prophet Elijah tells the poor widow of Zarapeth that if she makes him a small loaf of bread with the last of her flour and oil, her “jar of flour will not go empty, nor the jug of oil run dry, until the Lord sends rain upon the earth.” In faith, the widow baked the bread and fed Elijah. For the next year, the widow, her son, and Elijah ate bread made from the bowl of flour and jug of oil. If we pray with the faith of the widow of Zarapeth, our cup will never run dry! We will always have priests to bring us Jesus in the Eucharist.
Prayer for Vocations
Lord Jesus! O Good Shepherd! You came down on earth to find the lost sheep so that they might be saved and you called the apostles to become fishers of men. We beg you to call enthusiastic young people to become the salt of the earth and the light of the world, to practice the fullness of the Gospel in offering themselves, to work together, to build your Church, the Body of Christ, and to save souls. We humbly ask you to grant those who have been called the grace of wisdom, patience and fortitude, to radiate your glory, to spread your kingdom, and to lead their souls to everlasting life. Amen.
