Vocation reflections

Peter, James and John went with Jesus up to the mountain where he was transfigured before their eyes.  The sight was so glorious they were filled with awe, and wanted to stay.  Yet, the voice was clear: “This is my Son, my beloved.  Listen to him.”  How has God shown his glory to you?  Can you see him in your parish community, the suffering, the poor?  Are you hearing his voice in your life to show others his transfiguration through you as a priest, deacon, religious sister or brother?

If so, please contact the Vocations Office at 973-497-4365 or by e-mail at platebri@rcan.org or visit our website at www.rcan.org.

SCRIPTURE  REFLECTION
Have you ever taken a moment to figure out how much time, on the average, you spend per week volunteering in your church or in your community?

HOLY HOUR FOR PRIESTS

Our Holy Hour will be suspended during the summer months of July and August. 

However, we invite you to spend this scheduled time with the Lord in a quiet spot at home for these intentions and for your personal requests.  It is an hour of prayer for the priests, DIVINE MERCY and religious men and women of the church.  Prayers are also said for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life.  Pray for our priests and for all religious - help guide them through your prayers.
