Respect Life Corner

“Christ’s blood reveals to man that his greatness, and therefore his vocation, consists in the sincere gift of self. …It is from the blood of Christ that all draw the strength to commit themselves to promoting life. It is precisely this blood that is the most powerful source of hope, indeed it is the foundation of the absolute certitude that in God’s plan life will be victorious.” Pope Saint John Paul II




Vocation Corners

Today we celebrate the great gift of the Eucharist. This gift is what truly defines us as Catholics. We rejoice that Jesus gave His Body and Blood for our redemption. This is the remembrance we commemorate during each Liturgy, which is only possible through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, celebrated by a priest. We are challenged to pray for more priests and are challenged to encourage those who may have a calling to Holy Orders. Consider posing the question: “Have you ever considered becoming a priest?”
