Reflection #1 from Fr. Nagel

Race for Vocations Participants,

In these days ahead, let us be reminded of St. Paul 's words to Timothy about the race for eternal life, "I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith." II Timothy 4:7 May this scripture be a guiding light for both the Race for Vocations and our lives as we run the good race for holiness!

In the weeks ahead, I will be sending you weekly e-mails with a particular scripture to pray and train with. In addition, I would encourage you to continue to pray for vocations to the priesthood, religious life, sacred married and sacred single life as you train each week.

This week, let us focus on the aforementioned scripture from II Timothy 4:7. In reflecting on this passage, one might ask themselves, "How am doing in running the race to holiness? How am I allowing God to feed me to grow in faithfulness? Am I competing well in my relationship with God and with His people?"

Please be sure to ask others to pledge prayers for your run. You may post their prayer pledges at: http://www.indyteamvocations.blogspot.com/ This is also an awesome blog for you to join and keep informed of upcoming events, runners and the happenings of Team Vocations!

OK Team Vocations, get your training and praying on!!!

With a Father's Love,

Father Rick Nagel

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)
