Our Calling

 

“The harvest is great but the labourers are few.” When we look at the world we live in we mainly see problems. When Jesus looks at the same world he sees possibilities. When we think of labourers we think mainly of priests/religious. When Jesus thinks of labourers he thinks of people who live by love. And there are potentially very many of those kinds of people among us. There are wonderful people in every community who give themselves quietly in the service of others week in week out. There are many parents who work hard at handing on the gift of faith to their children. Are you among those? There are married couples who treasure their marriage as a vocation and work hard at developing their marriage as a light for the world. How do you see your vocation? What are you willing to put into it?


Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.

 

 

 

Bless, O God, our families.

Give to those who care for us the spirit of understanding
and the spirit of love, that our homes may be places of peace and laughter.

Come into our homes, O Lord,
and protect us with your love,
so that we may live in peace and rejoice in the quiet
beauty of your blessing
. AMEN
