Discernment Retreat: Listening for God’s Call

The Discernment Retreat begins TODAY! 
Please pray for the women who will be joining us in this sacred time of seeking God's Will:

LORD of the Harvest, 

BLESS young people with the gift
of courage to respond to your call.
Open their heart
to great ideals, to great things.


INSPIRE all of your disciples 
to mutual love and giving—
for vocations blossom
in the good soil of faithful people.


INSTILL those in religious life, parish ministries, and families 
with the confidence and grace to invite others
to embrace the bold and noble path 
of a life consecrated to you.

UNITE us to Jesus 
through prayer and sacrament,
so that we may cooperate 
with you in building your reign
of mercy and truth, of justice and peace. 
Amen.

— Pope Francis
