Sign of the Cross
The sign of the cross is a form of Catholic blessing whereby a person traces a symbolic cross on their body, or in the air in commemoration of the crucifixion of Christ. The sign of the cross is used in several Christian traditions, but it is most prominent in Catholic and Orthodox tradition. The sign of the cross represents the victory of Jesus Christ over death. It is also used as an improvised prayer to ward off evil or to bless oneself in a time of prayer or need. Image: Blessing - alefolsom - https://pixabay.com/images/id-3734678/ |

Prayer for Vocations
God, in Baptism you called me by name and made me a member of your people, the Church. Help all your people to know their vocation in life, and to respond by living a life of holiness. For your greater glory and for the service of your people, raise up dedicated and generous leaders who will serve as sisters, priests, brothers, deacons, and lay ministers. Send your Spirit to guide and strengthen me that I may serve your people following the example of your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name I offer this prayer. Amen. https://www.loyolapress.com/our-catholic-faith/prayer Image: katie175 - Bible - https://pixabay.com/images/id-4179472/ |

Growing up Prayer
With each new day that dawns I am growing up, O Lord. It's not too soon to start thinking of what I want to be. It's very hard, I think, to make the right decision but I pray that you will help and guide me. Show me what to do, let me share, someday, my talents where they're needed. And when you show me, give me courage to be generous enough to do what you want. https://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=838 Image: geralt - https://pixabay.com/images/id-1273088/ |

St Cecelia
St. Cecilia is regarded as the patroness of music, because she heard heavenly music in her heart when she was married and is represented in art with an organ or organ-pipes in her hand.
