During the Year for Priests, many dioceses have organized missionary vocations marches in recent weeks. This is the case of the Diocese of Nancy, in northeastern France, where the participants walked about 10 kilometers from the Basilica of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port to the cathedral of Nancy.Father Jean-Michaël Munier: "It's a way to demonstrate that we are supportive of vocations. And even if this is not a vocation that interests us, we pray together for the Lord to show the way to many people, so we can live our lives as Christians with the greatest possible number of priests and consecrated."Participants also had time to rest during the activities of the march, with the  chance to hear the testimonies of some priests."Configured to Christ as priests, we must increasingly try to become more and more like Him, it is He Himself who makes me more like Him. But I also believe that in this friendship with Christ, in this heart to heart dialogue with Christ, there is something authentically pastoral, as that we can present Christ to all the people who have been trusted us, and it is He, above all, who acts through all of those men and women who have been entrusted to us in this ministry."People who could not attend the rally were invited to meet to pray in the cathedral of Nancy. Of course, the day could not end without the celebration of the Eucharist.http://catholique-nancy.cef.fr/spip/
