I, Michael Garner, a sinner asks everyone here to please pray for me to the Lord our God. I think I have a vocation to the Priesthood. I need help from God. Also please pray for my true repentence of heart and mind. Please pray for me that I may become the Christian that God wants me to be. That I may be filled with love for God and for all peoples.

THANK YOU!

Many prayers for you. But remember, we are all sinners praying for each other. I am no saint, and that's probably also true for many here. The composer who wrote the composition, "Tu Es Petra" was criticized for dissonance in the work. His reply was something like, "have you ever seen anything beautiful about building a church?" Building vocations is not always a smooth, beautiful, and painless work. Hang in there and keep praying. Again, many prayers for you.

Michael,

The Lord needs many workers for His Vineyard - I will pray that you are one of them. It's a hard life in Seminary - but you don't need me to tell you that smile

If it is God's will for you then it will happen - be open to Him - allow Him to speak to you . He may wish you to do something else first - have patience.

Michael:

I'll commit to praying for you and for your vocation. May the Lord fulfill in you that which He intends for your life and for His People.

There are other seminarians who post here, too. I'd ask you to pray for those others who will serve us in the future with you.

In Christ,

BOB
