Now that I've read Hundredfold, now I have to discern how to implement its advice for starting a Vocation Ministry & fostering a culture of vocations within my parish of Holy Redeemer. I suspect this task is doomed, but then I am also reminded that Christ & I are an overwhelming majority. His will will be done, despite human folly & frailty, most especially mine own.

Spiritual Handbook for Catholic Evangelists, previously published as Inner Strength for Active Apostles, "is a slightly abridged version of The True Apostolate, third edition." It is a gift from the parish's Director of Children's Faith Formation, Romeo Uniform, at the conclusion of the 2018-2019 religious education school year. It is also assigned reading ahead of the 2019-2020 school year. Have I mentioned how much I loathe assigned reading?
