**Fr. John Zuhlsdorf, points out that to want more opportunities for confession is to want more priestly vocations. We have our prayer work cut out for us.**
Another thing with the prayer is to have it going on 24/7 in an Adoration Chapel at your church. The repentent will come, the youth will decide to be priests or lead a religious life.
I’ve heard it said that these two things:
Long confession lines
Vocations
Are the mark of a growing church.
Our one priest had to schedule four extra days for confessions and they were all full with at least 20 or more waiting for an hour of Confession.
We are working on developing perpetual Adoration. You’d think we could do it with a parish our size.
For the past two Lents we’ve had Adoration from Ash Wednesday to the Triduum. And I’m surreptitiously gathering a group to pray every day for better Eucharistic catechesis. So we’ll get there. Storm heaven, sez me.
