Postulancy! + Brother

[The Bus Station]

Hi Pham,

God willing, I will begin postulancy with a community of Benedictine monks this September. Please pray for me that I will stay vigilant and focused during the next nine months - the devil will be keen on throwing many doubts and distractions my way.  Thank you!

I also ask for prayers for my brother and his fiancee as they prepare for marriage, and particularly my relationship with my brother during this time. Ours is not the best relationship and I anticipate having some uncomfortable but important conversations with him before the wedding.

Thank you for your prayers pham -- it is always nice to know I can come here and ask for prayers from compassionate, charitable strangers (strangers for now, anyway)! God bless you!
