As a way to increase prayers for and awareness of vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life in the Diocese of Lansing, the Vocations Office has asked parishes to feature the seminarians and women in religious formation in their bulletins. In the last weeks, we included photos of all of these men and women along with a prayer. We encourage you and your family to pray for them daily.
Visit the Office of Vocations for the Diocese of Lansing for more information. https://lansingpriest.org/news/
Carolyn's (alleged) Message from Heaven
October 24, 2021
Heavenly Father, we give you thanks and praise for your Son, Jesus Christ.
Send your Holy Spirit to inspire holy, faithful men to minister as priests and women to become Brides of Christ and serve your people.
Lord, we pray that your grace and love be enough for these men and women in discernment of religious life.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

As per my homily about ‘Penance’ and what we can do on behalf of our country, here is a link to discerninghearts.com where you can find a novena to Our Lady, Untier of Knots. Under the search icon, just type in “knots”. The prayer takes about 7 1/2 minutes per day over nine days.
