VOCATIONS NIGHT: Monday Dec. 21st

So I am pretty excited for the Misa de Aguinaldo on Monday, December 21st. Rence and I will be back at the home parish, celebrating with friends and family, assisting at the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. But in addition to that, in this Year for Priests we get to promote Vocations!

So... come out to the Misa on Monday the 21st, [It is co-sponsored by CYM anyway... so you should be there] and join us in celebrating vocations. At 7pm before the mass begins, we will share with you vocations videos, testimonies, a bit of music, and more. Mass begins at 7:30pm, with a special choir of seminarians who have put together some beautiful music as we await the coming of the Messiah.

I also would like to extend a special invitation for anyone who is discerning a call to religious life, even just a little bit. Even if you only have thought about the possibility and are slightly open to it. Come. Let us pray for you and with you, and let the Holy Spirit reign in all of our lives.

Maranatha.

Quote of the Moment: Rediscover Joy

"Rediscover the meaning and pleasure of Christian joy, which is so different from that of the world... [Joy] does not consist in having lots of things, but in feeling loved by the Lord, in letting ourselves be a gift to others, and in loving ourselves...It's necessary to try to live every single day in the way the Nativity represents, that is, with Christ's love, his humility and his poverty."
-- Papa Benedict, Gaudete Sunday 2009
