Marian Helper Summer 2013

See the Marian Fathers’ vocation video at marian.org/vocationvideo. ‘How we heard the call’ Marian seminarian Br. John: After I committed to the priesthood, I checked out the most popular communities, but I didn’t find what I was looking for so I gave up. A few months later, I felt inspired to pray and was led to the Marians. When I discovered the Marian spirituality, I knew I had found my spiritual home – under Mary’s mantle and in Divine Mercy. Marian Helpers Jim and Sue: We have been proud contributors to the Marian seminarians for the past eight years. We believe supporting the vocations of seminarians is an indis- pensable and essential call for all of the laity. As Jesus said to St. Faustina: “Priests and Religious gave Me the strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind.” Write: Fr.
