August 8, 2010 St. Timothy What is a Religious Vocation? A vocation is a call from God to share intimately in His inner life of love. Out of this love, the Lord has created you and you alone for a specific mission. Your vocation is His invitation for you to share in saving the world as a single or married person, as a priest or religious. Sometimes the pull of a vocation is strong, sometimes not. But if it keeps St. Timothy's Women's Club coming back – then it must be followed. Please join us in the Parish Hall for Hospitality today Sunday “If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your heart” after the 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. Masses. (Psalm 95) We will have a BOOK SALE and coffee and snacks. LAVocations.org We look forward to seeing our friends and catching up on the news of the week.
