Prayer stuff

A reader writes:

I’m considering putting aside my Ph.D. schooling to enter the seminary for a year of discernment and formation, and I was wondering if you could post this. I could use all the prayers I can get. Thanks.

And another reader writes:

Just wanted to say thanks again for the prayers and generosity regarding our new born baby. He was born Jonathan Patrick last Monday – the 40th anniversary of the moon landing – at 7 pounds, 7 ounces and 19 inches long. Jonathan and Mom are doing great. The three older brothers are equally thrilled. Thanks again for all the thoughtful and prayerful support during this time.

Lord, hear our prayers of petition and thanks!
