Right to Life

For all whose life is in danger, and especially for those for whom hunger and disease is a constant threat: that we might cherish their lives and seek to save them We pray to the Lord

Jesus tells the crowd that only those who renounce all of their possessions can be His disciples. Is He truly asking us to give us everything? Perhaps instead He is trying to help us see that everything we think we own is really a

gift from God. Good stewards know that and strive to use those gifts accountably.

Pray For Vocations

In today’s Gospel, we hear the Lord’s great call to discipleship. Jesus leaves nothing to the imagination when it comes to what he requires of those of us who wish to follow Him. Christ invites us to carry our cross and follow after Him. Discovering in what way we are called to do this is impossible without prayer. By doing so, we are not carrying our cross alone. The good Lord will guide us along the path He has chosen for us, whatever that may be. Following Christ in becoming a priest, deacon or religious brother or sister calls some of us to discipleship. If you think this might be your vocation, you are not alone. Contact the Vocation Office at 973-497-4365 or e-mail kellybar@rcan.org.
