Since we are hosting a very special event tonight, an evening with the Cardinal to cultivate vocations to the priesthood and brotherhood (a similar event will be held for young women in the future), I’d like to focus our prayer today on St. John Vianney, the Cure of Ars, patron of priests. He was a man of simple faith who loved his calling, and prayed constantly for the people of Ars and eventually for all who came to him for confession or spiritual advice. Today’s Gospel contains the familiar verse, “Ask and you shall receive, knock and the door will be opened to you.” (Lk11:9). Like St. John, let us not hesitate to ask for our own conversion of heart, and the conversion of those we teach, and yes, even that some of them might heed God’s call to the priesthood or religious life. Thank you for your prayerful support.
Bro. Rene
