I was talking with a friend today and realized I should post this prayer request. I am so thankful for the young people today (and sometimes not so young ) who give their lives to Christ and His Church - especially in this day and age when the world is turning so far from His call. We need their vocations - because their future ministry as priests and lives of prayer and service as sisters are vital to our world.

It is something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season. In addition to prayers of thanksgiving they need our prayers for fortitude.

This Saturday, the daughter of my cousin (so I guess that makes her my 1st cousin once removed...) will be professing solemn vows as Cistercian nun at Valley of Our Lady Monastery in Wisconsin.

I ask your prayers for Sr. Mary Bede and her family.

I also pray for the special seminarians in our lives: Jason, Justin, Joe, Nathan G., Nathan M., Mason, Nick, Robert, Tommy, Scott, Dn. Sean, Dn. Troy, Dn. Jason, Dn. Joseph, Dn. Scott, Br. John, Br. Paul, Br. James and all the other seminarians at St. John Vianney Seminary in Denver.

For those discerning a religious vocation - a special intention.

Please add your personal intentions for vocations and those preparing for religious life.

Praying for all of these wonderful men and women, Mary!

Please pray for Mark and Nick, dear friends who are in formation for the permanent diaconate, and for Rinju and Mark, in minor seminary and our diocesan seminary, respectively.

Two of my former students have discerned a vocation to religious life. Please pray for Olivia and Helen, two lovely, faith-filled young ladies who aren't afraid at all to explain why becoming a nun has been their lifetime dream.

Also, could you please pray for some of my younger students and their little siblings...they have talked about possible vocations to the priesthood,and I pray (and hope you will too) that their families will support them as they grow in faith and continue to contemplate God's plan for them.

I LOVE being part of our Co-op for just this reason - everyone celebrates when a young person considers a vocation to priestly service or the religious life. Out in the world, the reaction tends to be far less positive.
