Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church – Church Bulletin
Fourth Sunday of Easter – 21 April 2013
Invitation from God
On this Vocations Sunday, let’s us reflect on what Pope Benedict XVI said,
“Dear young people, do not be afraid to follow him and to walk the demanding and courageous paths of charity and generous commitment! Cultivate a desire for what is truly worthy, for lofty objectives, radical choices, service to others in imitation of Jesus.”
Jesus said, “Come, follow me.” (Mk10:21).
Are you willing to accept God’s invitation?
