Dear JMJ and LIB,
Thanks for this post. Our substitute priest (our pastor is on vacation) gave a wonderful homily on St. John Vianney, today. For those who think "N.O." priests never talk about these things, he discussed: sin; temptation; Hell; confession; grace of frequent use of the sacraments; and that St. John Vianney prays with us when we pray for grace to overcome sin in our lives.
After Mass, he said he thought he could see vocations in my sons. ;-)

You're welcome,sitetest. That substitute priest at your parish sounds wonderful! Was he from a religious order? What did your boys say when father said that they looked like candidates for the priesthood? I loved that he said that.I think it's great when priest mention the priesthood.It's almost like they're really pushing it and I'm sure that they are! There's a priest that helps out at our parish who frequently bring up the lack of priests.
