Vocation reflections True discipleship, Jesus says is concerned not with status but with service to the poor, with justice and peace. Does the message of Jesus attract the depths of your soul? Does a life of service sound fulfilling to you? 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. Page 2 Top
SCRIPTURE
REFLECTION
HOLY HOUR Every Tuesday, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the church from 3 to 4 p.m. 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. We invite you to come and spend time with the Lord for these intentions and for your personal requests.
