Under RSVP, local units adopt one or more seminarians or postulants and give them financial, moral and spiritual support. RSVP has been an outstanding success. It s my hope every council, assembly and circle in the Order will take part in it and cover every seminarian and postulant by the end of the Jubilee Year. But our opportunities for fostering vocations don t stop there. Here are three things that every person, whether a Knight of Columbus or not, can do.
Nothing is more important than prayer.
If we ask God fervently and regularly for new vocations to the priesthood and religious life, we can be sure that they will come. Second, think often about our own vocations the particular forms of service to which God calls us. This constant effort to discern God s will is basic and essential to being vocations-minded. Third, talk about vocations to family and friends. That will involve quietly encouraging them to be aware that, whatever their situation in life may be, God has a plan for them a vocation that they need to discover and accept.
