Thanks for all the prayers!  As you may have noticed, I've posted a couple of times about our diocese, the lack of bishop, and the shrinking number of priests. 

 

God has answered my prayers favorably.  The new bishop, Msgr. Michael Duca, was the rector at Holy Trinity Seminary in Irving, Tx, and the vocational director for the diocese of Dallas.  We not only got a new bishop, but one with a focus on vocations!

 

God be praised!

Thank God!

Now please pray for my children's school.  The priest just left and we are awaiting the news of who will be the new pastor.  This school desperately needs a holy man that is ardently in love with the Church.

Will do.  I've prayed everday for the intercession of St. Jean Vianney.

 

Father, you so loved the world, that in the fullness of time, you sent your only Son, Jesus, to be our Savior.  We now ask you, the Master of the harvest, to send workers into the harvest, for the harvest is great, but the workers are few.  Bless the vineyard of the world with priests and religious who will teach in your Son's name, walk in His footsteps, and break bread in His memory.  Amen.

Praise God, Matty!
