Hi, I am Sr. T, a Sister of St Paul of Chartres, and I serve as a Women’s Discernment Leader with the Vocation Brisbane Team. This month, Pope Francis invites us to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Vocation is about responding to God’s call, a call to bear witness to Christ and to serve His mission in the world. It is a call, I believe, that requires the support of the entire Church community to welcome, nurture, and encourage our young people. Now more than ever, we are in need of authentic vocations whose lives reflect the way, the standard of Christ to the world. So, let us pray that the church community might welcome the desires and doubts of those young people who feel a call to serve Christ’s mission in the priesthood and religious life, helping them to discern and live out their vocation with faith and courage. We pray always, in the Spirit of God and through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Thank you for joining us. See you soon.
