Praying for Vocations

A homily for the thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C), by Bishop Thomas Daly: This Sunday marks the annual observance of National Vocation Awareness Week (the first full week of November). Bishop Daly asks the people of the diocese to pray for and encourage vocations to the diocesan priesthood and consecrated religious life. The tree climbed by Zacchaeus in today’s Gospel can serve as a helpful point of reflection.
