My advice to men considering the priesthood:Advice I would give a young man entering the seminary, would be to echo John Paul II's famous words to those who feel they might have a call, "Be not afraid." If God is calling you to serve him and his people in the Priesthood or Religious life, there is no better place to discern than the seminary. I think many people believe once you enter the seminary, that is it, you must become a Priest. But this is not the case. It is a place to pray and ponder God's desires, as well as instill a prayer life that will be more fruitful and have an advocate in whatever your vocation is. To know you have sincerely opened your mind and heart to God's direction, is an amazing way to live with more confidence, peace, and Joy. If the Priesthood or religious life is not for you, not only will you have been exposed to a great education, but will have more clarity and understanding to whatever your role in life may be.
Why I want to be a Priest: I want to be a Priest to serve God’s people and to answer his call. I want to help spread the truth and Good News of our Faith, to those who are so hungry. Most importantly I want to do God’s will in his vocation for me.
