THIS WEEK

Called to Serve

The local church needs to become “more sensitive and attentive” to helping children and young people grow in their relationship with Christ through prayer and the sacraments, become more familiar with sacred Scriptures, be generous and loving toward others, and “understand that entering into God’s will does not crush or destroy a person, but instead leads to the discovery of the deepest truth about ourselves.” — Pope Benedict XVI, message for World Day of Prayer for Vocations. This week's Prairie Messenger features a special section on vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
