10K Race and more

Who's doing the 10K tomorrow? Don't forget to wear your Vocations shirt from last year. Meet up by the registration tables before the race, and look for other participants in their shirts after the race near the finish line/drink & snack tables. Watch for other participants in their shirts and cheer them on!

Does anyone want a Vocations running singlet from last year to help make a visual presence and increase awareness for our cause? They're $10 each. Ladies and Adult sizes are available (the Ladies sizes are lined in the front). There are 60+ left over singlets from last year that I'm trying to get rid of for Arch. Indy. Any takers? There are two other training races before the Mini in which we'll be meeting, and you can wear the shirt then too. I'll have some shirts with me at the race tomorrow, or you can post here or reply to one of my emails. Make checks payable to Archdiocese of Indpls.

During a race (and during training too) is a good time to offer up prayers for vocations. For example, you could say an 'Our Father', or other prayer(s), as you pass each mile marker. I find it inspirational to pray during a run, and you're doing something for a greater good, other than just for yourself.

Hope to see a lot of you tomorrow!
Godspeed,

A Vocations Prayer

Gracious and loving God, Your people are longing to hear your word. Send laborers into your harvest - women and men on fire with your love:
Dedicated single people - who incarnate your presence in their daily lives, whose availability enables them to respond to a diversity of needs.
Married couples - whose relationships serve as a sign of your fidelity to your people, whose love overflows to their children and neighbors.
Ordained Ministers - who gather the prayers and longing of your people who serve as a channel of your presence through the sacraments.
Religious sisters, brothers, and priests - whose life in community foreshadows our eternal unity in Christ, whose service brings your life to the world.
May each of us respond with courage and generosity to our particular vocations, and may the Church recognize the Spirit's call to men and women of good will, trusting in your abundance to answer all our needs.
Amen.
(USCCB)
