When babies are baptized and the Candle is handed back to them, the Priest should mention to the parents and Godparents to pray for the child to become a Priest or a Nun!! I think this should also be done when they receive their First Holy Communion and their Confirmation!

Parents today only seem to think about Grandchildren.

Parents today only seem to think about Grandchildren.

And there's the problem! Moral relativism and secularism have reduced our society down to co-habiting partners who may or may not choose to have a child. In the past, vocations grew out of large families where there were many children and parents often encouraged them to pursue religious life.

Shrinking families, combined with a desire to ensure a family name is carried to future generations, has significantly contributed to the shortage in vocations. In France, the problem has become serious with only a handful of priests to replace those retiring.

Tell me you are kidding. Pray for your daughter to become an American nun?
