- Respond to God’s Plan (2/15/2025)
This Sunday we are having donuts after Mass at St. Casimir. Since we don’t do that very often I invite you to take the time with fellow parishioners. This past week we celebrated the feast day of St. Valentine. I hope it was a good day to express your gratitude for those who surround you in love. This week I will be helping as a spiritual director with the “Busy Student Retreat” being hosted by Holy Spirit parish for the college students. Keep all of them in your prayers so that our young people will continue to grow in the faith and respond to God’s plan.
From the Dominican Sister of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist I wish to share the following vocation story from one of their postulants. “Sister Talia first considered a vocation to religious life when she was a freshman in high school–even though she had never met a Sister before! The following year, she had to give a presentation about a religious community for her theology class and chose ours! “I remember looking at the website and feeling this burning within my heart and this desire to give myself without reserve to Our Lord.” Throughout high school, Talia spent many hours in Adoration and researched many communities but always felt most drawn to ours. The year after graduation, she went to Adoration one day and simply asked Jesus when she should embrace religious life. “When I looked down at the Bible in my hands there were the words, ‘come now,’” she says. “I then asked Jesus where to start and He told me to check my phone–and there, waiting for me, was an email from our vocations director!”
Keep our young people in your prayers from our parish and others, that they continue the journey of discernment aided by God’s grace.
