Back in September, a friend of mine entered the convent. After a while, I felt a “calling”, if you will, to do something for her. So I corresponded by e-mail with the convent for a bit to see if there was anything I could do - supplies they are in desperate need of, or a good book, stuff like that. The person on the other end politely, but abnormally forcefully declined anything. Truth be told, I suspect it was my friend on the other end, which would explain a lot, but that’s neither here nor there.

Anyway, I still feel the need to do something, and all I can think of is to pray for her, as I have been doing for a long time now, and to ask you to pray for her too. Nothing’s wrong. She’s doing well from what I hear. But prayers never hurt.

Thanks.
 
God does great things through prayer and intercession. As I often mention to my parishioners, prayer isn’t the least thing you can do… it is the greatest thing you can do. As opportunity for other service presents itself, God will make it known to you. But for now, you are serving your neighbor greatly through your intercessions on her behalf-- and your intuition to help is well founded, as all in vocations these days face great and grave perils.

Peace to you.

Praying for your friend.

*O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge, understanding, and counsel to youth that they may know the vocation wherein they can best serve God. Give them courage and strength to follow God’s holy will. Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in God’s holy service. *

*Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
May you continue to pray for your friend. There is nothing more beneficial you could do for her or for anyone else. May the Lord continue to bless your friend and form her into a perfect saint. Amen.
