The post Jan 26 – Homily – Fr Ignatius: Live Out Your Mission first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Ave Maria! Joseph Yoder and Ryan McGill finish their aspirancy to become postulants, as they are invested with the Miraculous Medal and make an act of consecration to the Virgin Mary. Postulancy is the next step in their vocational discernment with the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate. If they persevere until September 2020, they will head on to Italy for their novitiate, replacing the three Americans (Joshua, Alec, and Joseph) who would be finishing theirs at about the same time. Please keep them in your prayers as they continue their discernment and offer them a hearty congratulations in the comments. Also, please pray for more vocations as well. Deo Gratias!!
