I was perusing the vocation-related articles at Catholic Lane when I came across this piece on prayer and vocations by Fr. Kyle Schnippel, the vocation director for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

While we all know that daily prayer is the quintessential hallmark of all vocations in Christ, it’s good to be reminded of this fact and encouraged to foster not only our own prayer life but also the prayer life of our children. As Fr. Schnippel writes: 

“If we form our young people to be young men and women of prayer, they will naturally desire to follow wherever God leads in this life, ultimately as the pathway to the next life.”
