Is there a deadline to "get your prayers in"? I've been praying daily Rosaries for vocations and don't plan to stop any time soon! If you need a number, let's call it 75 Rosaries(can we count that as 4425 prayers all together??) by the time May gets here =)

Go Genevieve and Lisa! There are technically 81 prayers in a rosary. I pledge a week of rosaries for both Lisa and Genevieve. That's 14 rosaries x 81 prayers = 1,134 prayers.

I pledge to say the an Our Father as well as the Rosary for each mile of the race for a one week period. My prayers will be for all of those who are called to a vocation to the priesthood...be they men or women, single or married. May God bless you all for dedicating your time and prayers for our needed vocations. The Catholic Church, I remind myself, is ultimately a Church of Social Justice in the name of the Risen Christ. It is this reminder that gives me hope and faith in our future as concerned and just Catholics. We who witness thru actions and believe with conviction in the Risen Christ
We must live the change we seek....Mary Kennedy Bardsley

I pledge ALL the work I do this weekend helping my brother move for an increase in Vocations. Additionally I'll pray a Rosary for the same intention, and offer ALL my training mileage, and the entire Mini (13.1 miles) for the same intention. - - - Brian, St. Michael's in Greenfield, IN

I pledge an Our Father for all the priests who have left the priesthood, that they may continue to seek Christ's call for their lives and be delivered from evil.
