Please remember my youngest son, Matthew, in your prayers. He is entering seminary this week. He has wrestled with this decision for several years and he has some 'large' shoes to fill, following his grandfather and uncle's footsteps. O Mary, Birthgiver of God and Theotokas, intercede on Matthew's behalf, guide him and protect him with your Holy Mantle.

We all look forward to having Matt in our midst at CTSS. Just remember: the only shoes he has to fill are his own. God gives each of us unique gifts and talents!

Prayers that God grant Matthew many years in his priestly vocation
