Saint Jane Frances de Chantal

Today I took the memorial for Saint Jane Frances to celebrate at Mass. Her life involved several vocations: wife, mother, and religious sister. The opening prayer for Mass acknowledges this: "Lord, you chose Saint Jane Frances to serve you both in marriage and in religious life. By her prayers help us to be faithful in our vocation and always be the light of the world" (Magnificat, 153). We always talk about the three vocations- married life, single life, priesthood and religious life. God calls us to live our respective vocations and He gives us the grace and strength that we need to live them to the fullest. Our main vocation is to be disciples, living the Good News and sharing the love of God with others. We can do that with those respective vocations as well. To be faithful and to be a light for the world. We need to live both and we pray that Saint Jane Frances de Chantal will intercede for us and help us to live out God's will in our lives. God Bless You!!!
