I praise God for the vocation testimonies included in the June 2 issue. Every story was so inspiring, the way God worked in such a personal way in the life of each of these men called to the priesthood. Their journeys brightened my day and rekindled my hope — a reminder that Jesus is indeed alive and active in His Church.

I also want to commend two wonderful columns by Heather King, one from the same June 2 issue, “Remembering the ‘Righteous’,” and the other from the May 5 issue, “A priest’s way back, from Spain to LA.” Both brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you, Angelus, for the care you take to provide so much worthwhile news for your readers.
