Visit Him and You’ll Be Changed By Renae Kranz The Bishop’s Bulletin, Sioux Falls, SD

Father Urban has seen parishes dedicating adoration hours to pray for specific needs. Many pray for an increase in vocations in the diocese. He says when he was in the seminary he saw a definite correlation between those prayers offered in adoration and the number of men and women entering the priesthood and the religious life. Memorial Day Mass That time in front of the Lord helps us all discern our own vocation as well. 9:00 a.m. at the Columbarium in the Prayer Garden “When we allow ourselves to be present to our Lord and have quiet time with Him, we have to honestly think about whether we will just sit on our thumbs 5 or will we get to work and ask those Tuesday 5:15 p.m. Masses honest questions that we need to (Beginning June 8) address,” Father Urban says. “Am I happy with where my life is heading? will be celebrated at the Grotto of Our Lady If yes, then keep going and continue in the Prayer Garden to ask our Lord into that.

First, it’s tragic to think of anyone voluntarily will break you. Remember, you have missing out on the Eucharist for so long. It’s also a real problem in the church been created for great things. today that a lot of our folks don’t understand the beauty of the Sunday obligation.

I hope it’s starting to look like summer where you are. We’ve still got a few weeks left before it’s official, but the school year should be winding up for most kids, the birds should be chirping a little louder, and hopefully your lawn is starting to green up nicely. You’re probably daydreaming about the annual cabin getaway weekend or waterskiing on the Fourth of July.
