Special Vatican Monstrance

Pope John Paul II blessed six monstrances to travel around the world to be used by groups who pray before the Eucharist for vocations. Fr. Mike Harrington and the vocation office were able to obtain the monstrance for the Boston Archdiocese right before the patronal feast of St. Patrick. Two Sunday's ago the monstrance was in the chapel of the Missionaries of Charity for an hour of Eucharistic adoration. That afternoon it was Fr. Mike brought it to our chapel and we opened the doors to anyone who wanted to join us in prayer for vocations.

Jesus said that we must beg the Father to send workers into the harvest. This was the true vocation work: prayer. For vocations are a gift that the world so needs, because it so needs Christ.
