Today, April 17, is being celebrated around the world as the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. In 1963, Pope Paul VI designated Good Shepherd Sunday as World Day of Prayer for Vocations. What do we mean by the word “vocation?” A good understanding of the word “vocation might well be considered within the following sequence of statements: Through the sacrament of baptism each person receives a “call” or vocation. God calls all who are baptized to holiness and service. This call is lived as a single, mar-ried, ordained, or consecrated person. As we celebrate this feast, we pray for fidelity to our vocation in life. We are re-minded, as baptized Catholics and all Christians, that our central vocation is both a call to holiness and to service. Saint John Paul II constantly called upon young people and all of us to give our lives in service as followers of Jesus Christ. We all have dedicated our lives to Christ through our specific vocation. We have been called to the priesthood, diaconate, marriage, consecrated life, and single life and we must remain faithful to our commitment which we have made before Christ. I ask you to pray, especially today, and always, for all those that are discerning voca-tions. Have a blessed week! Fr. Campbell

Perpetual Adoration at Spirit of Life Perpetual Adoration in the Mandan/Bismarck area, located in Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament chapel at Spirit of Life has been a
great blessing to so many people over the last three years! All area parishes have been involved in sustaining 24/7 adoration! As we
begin the third year, we would like to add new people to the list of committed adorers. There are several open hours which we have been
filling on a week-to-week basis, and of course some of those are late night hours which are the most difficult, but also the most peaceful and reward-
ing. We need second adorers on many daytime hours as well, or you may want to be part of a group of four who share an hour and rotate weeks. If you hear God inviting you to assist in maintaining perpetual adoration in the diocese, please call the Spirit of Life parish office at 663-1660 for more information.
