I will be happy to light a wee votive candle at my parish church for any serious discerner who posts and requests one, in thanksgiving for all those who are entering this year!

I would like to request one. I've never seen so many discerners in my life, excluding me, its awesome how God works. I am happy that He chooses us, and I am happy He chose me, discernment is wonderful, and I cant wait to be His spouse for the Greater Glory of God.

stlmom,

That's a great gesture. Very thoughtful!

May I request one?.. I'm pretty new here but- I could really use any prayer I can get these days, esp because i could be entering as soon as next August!

+JMJ+

Would you for me as well?

God love you.

I would like lit for the intentions of the Broke Daughters of St. Dominic.
Thanks so much for your kindness

I'd like to request one too, please. Not just for me, but for all people discerning the priesthood. I've just started discerning, so hopefully I'll have some kind of answer.

Thank you for doing this, vocations definately need more prayers!

God Bless,
Randall

stlmom could you please ligt one for me and all those discerning religious life espcially the young women discerning with the IHMs

Thank you so much for the prayers

God Bless
Lee

Stlmom, I would so much appreciate if you would light one on behalf of myself and all the other discerners whose parents are having trouble accepting that they might be called to religious life.

Thank you very much. What a wonderful gesture!

Wow! I'm included with the Broke daughters of St. Dominic! What a beautiful idea! Thank you so much stlmom & Deo gratias!

I would ask for one as well. Though in the early phases of serious discernment, I have taken that step. Praise be to God for all those who have said yes and are entering this year!

very very thoughtful and generous of you!! I am discerning as well, any and all prayers are so greatly appreciated!!! God Bless you!!! I'm praying for all of you

Consider it done this weekend! There's room for more if anyone else would like!

I would like one please and make it for the PCPA's in Black Canyon city AZ. as well,
they are the order I am hoping to enter one day in the not to far future.

GOD Bless you for ever.

Could you add me to that list too! I could use some prayer at the moment.
Thank you.

I'm beginning to apply to college including seminary and stuff, so prayers would be cool!

Thank you stlmom

I -think- I somewhat applied to the Broke Daughters of St. Dominic, so I'm already lit up

I'd like to request one for my friend who will be entering the Poor Clares here in St. Louis shortly!

I'd like to request a votive for all converts discerning a vocation. I think that includes quite a few of us here.
Thank you!!!!

Please light a votive candle for strength and courage to endure sufferings for all who are discerning a vocation to the priesthood or religious life. Thanks!

This gives me a wonderful website idea, people paying to light votive candles at a parish or something, just an idea! what do yall think?

"A votive candle will be lit at the Cathedral of St. Francis Xavier for your intentions"

Yep! This is too cool....




Good idea!
I will light a candle at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon too for these intentions!

Got the votives lit this morning. Hope the picture uploads for you all to see.




Arrghhh! I am sooo technologically challenged! Sorry!

there's a website called praythenews.com by a monastery where, to send them a prayer request, you light a little virtual candle. it's pretty cool.

I may have missed it for this weekend ... but can you include me in the next one

I'm currently discerning with a community outside of the US and am scheduled to make a two week visit in November. I'm really nervous (not so much if its not where I'm supposed to be ... but what if it IS! Getting there takes about 18 hours at least).



(Those smilies say it all).

Thanks in advance

Phatmass Vocation Votive Shrine

If anyone is still lighting votive light for vocations I sure could use one!



I will gladly recompense with a prayer or two.

Many thanks!

stlmom,

Please light one for me, too. Thank you! Pretty confused and easily discouraged presently, as I'm sure many here are - was in and out of 2 orders (one sort of an order) within the last 4 years. Thanks again!!

Margaret

Funny, I was at Mass yesterday and among my wandering thoughts appeared the idea I should do another round of votives--coincidence??

Please light one for me. I will be staying with the Sisters Dec. 30 - Jan. 8.

Please light one for me. I will be staying with the Sisters Dec. 30 - Jan. 8.

Thank you! A God-incidence, as they sometimes say.

Please light a candle for me, my family, and friends - that we will all accept God's will for me with joy and courage.

Thank you so much for doing this. It's thoughtful of you.

stlmom, if you could, please light one for me as well. i will be lighting one for you.

Bringing this one back up since we're looking at the 29th of April for special vocations prayers. Our parish isn't doing anything special as far as I know, but I'm offering to light a little votive at my parish again for each discerner that posts before the 29th.

Could I please request three: two for the women I am discerning with and one for myself. The three of us, God willing, will be entering the IHM's this September. Thank you!

Tina

For all the women who are called to the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration... that they will hear the call and have the strength to follow it. Pray especially for the ones who are called to enter this fall with me!

Yes please

PP

Yes, please; that myself, and all other women and men trying to find God's will, have the courage and grace to follow wherever He leads.

Thank you. You are doing such a beautiful thing here.

Oh yes please!! I need prayers right now more than ever before. Thank you so much.
Bless you!

Please light another one for "a little package", me, Monsignor Shuchler, my brothers Brandon and Bo their dad Robert his wife Cindy and my mother. One votive candle with alot of intentions. Thanks stlmom!

Prayers for you!
Alter

Thanks, stlmom! Could you please light one for me, as well? I do need prayers for my discernment. Thank you very much!

May God bless and protect you always in all of your endeavors!

Your Brother in Christ,

Joe

Making a list, checking it twice...

OOoooooOOO another for me, please?

thanks!

Ps I just found out that because of my knee injury I will be fine but I can never kneel and have to avoid using stairs... for the rest of my life. *sniffle*

It's good though. I have a lot of pride and I hate not being able to kneel like everyone else in Church.

Wait wait ... wait for me :-) Me me me me me ... and don't forget me.


Now in a more serious, non toddler like tone.

Please light a candle for me as well. (Hopefully I'll post a new topic soon ...) I just talked via phone to the formation director of the sisters I'm entering. They're waiting for me (whenever I can get there).

Thanks ... and I will try to remember to light a candle for phatmass VS the next time I go to adoration.

I would also like to request one, that I and other young people in England may be blessed with the generosity of heart that is needed to respond to the call. Please ask Our Lady of Walsingham to intercede for us when you light the candle. I am very devoted to her Shrine.

Last call before I head over to church this weekend....

I'm sensing a need to light a few votives based on some recent posts--anyone out there can make a request and I will light one for them this week for any intention. God bless all you discerners!

This would be me ... I would be really happy and thankful if you could just lit a candle for me. I do need it, as the way is still long and it is good to know there are people accompanying me. Thank you again.
