I’m going to depart from my typical suggestion of some classic piece of art and ask you to consider using a photo of someone in a religious vocation instead.  This month, everyone will get a Pray For A Seminarian card as part of January lessons. This card would be both a wonderful piece of “art,” and a reminder to pray.

Photos have the ability to make a concept more relatable and one of the goals is to help kids think, “This could be me!” If you have a priest or religious from your parish, perhaps photos of them would be best.  You may also have a local order or a diocesan vocations poster that would work.  No matter what you choose, the goal is to convey the joy of serving God and to make it relatable for your students.
