V.J.E.
Praised be Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament!
On August 7, 2024, we welcomed five young women into Postulancy in our Chapel of Divine Providence at Cypress Springs Mercedarian Prayer Center in Baton Rouge, LA with the Most Rev. Michael G. Duca, Bishop of Baton Rouge.
Please pray for Carly Bosse, Elizabeth Cottle, Ana O’Donnell, Anna Sutton, and Charlotte Svec as they continue to discern the Lord’s call for their life within our religious family. We thank God for these five young women and pray that Papa may continue to send more women on fire with love for Jesus in the Eucharist!

A Prayer for Mercedarian Vocations: O Mary, Mother of Christ the Eternal High Priest, and Mother of the Church, we come to you and humbly ask you to awaken new religious vocations for the service of the people of God, especially to the Mercedarian family. Strengthen our Catholic homes in faith which bears fruit; so that disciples and witnesses of your Son may be harvested from them. Touch the hearts of our young people, invite and bring them to the Heart of Jesus. May they grow in his warmth and in the mystery of total self-giving in service of the Gospel. Mother of Mercy, our Mother, bless us with holy vocations to the religious life and priesthood. Amen.
