If you love truth, be a lover of silence. Silence, like the sunlight, will illuminate you in God.

If you are one of the blessed people to have a good yield in your vegetable garden this year, and you love to share your harvest with those who are not as fortunate, you may bring your vegetables to share after Mass.
Student Prayer:
As school begins, we offer this prayer (author unknown):
God of our past, our present and our future,
God of our dreams, our designs and our decisions,
Be love in us as we journey through this new school year.
Be our inner vision, that we may see life through your eyes,
Be our inner hearing, that we may listen well for your call,
Be our inner judgment, so we may discern clearly that which gives life,
Promotes growth, and nurtures love. As we move into this school year,
fill us with hope and abiding trust that you dwell in us,
So that, in both joy and sorrow, we radiate hope.

Prayer for Vocations
All-Holy, merciful God,
Eternal Father of our LORD, Jesus Christ,
Giver of the Holy Spirit to the humble of heart:
We parishioners of the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings,
seeking your face at St. Mark’s, St. Mary’s,
and Most Holy Trinity parishes,
ask you to inspire men who are zealous for doing your will
to be open to, and to seek, your call to serve as priests or deacons
in the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
We are your people, most loving God,
and we ask that you provide for us shepherds
according to your own heart--
Men of firm faith and warm charity, filled with joyful hope,
committed to the Way of Jesus Christ unto death,
serving obediently and respectfully under our Bishop,
and dedicated to seeking our spiritual good
and Spirit-filled life in these parishes.
We offer You our heart-felt prayer,
confidently trusting that you will do
what is for the eternal salvation
and the temporal well-being of your beloved children.
To You be glory and thanksgiving,
through Christ Jesus our LORD,
now and forever. Amen!
