| St. Albert's Priory is
delighted to announce the Novice Class of 2001. These eleven men have come from
various walks of life, but all have sought to live and serve the Lord in the tradition of
St. Dominic De Guzman. Please pray for them as they spend one year dedicated to
deeper prayer as they learn to live the Dominican life. "It
is always Christ who sends. But whom does He send? You, young people, are the
ones He looks upon with love. Christ, who says, 'Follow me,' wants you to live your
lives with a sense of vocation. He wants your lives to have a precise meaning,
a dignity. Most of you are called to marriage and family life, but some will receive
a call to the priesthood or religious life...The search and discovery of God's will for
you is a deep and fascinating endeavor. It requires of you the attitude of trust
expressed in the words of the Psalm used in today's liturgy, 'you will show me the path of
life, fullness of joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever.' (PS
15:11) Every vocation, every path to which Christ calls us ultimately leads to fulfillment
and happiness, because it leads to God, to sharing in God's own life."
