Is God Calling You to be a Priest of Jesus Christ?
The call to priesthood is one of the most rewarding vocations that a man can receive from God. It is an ever new challenge to go out into the flux of the world and present the Truth of Christ as He is. It involves sacrifice, innovation, discipline, courage, strength, perseverance and the particular quality of living as one in the world, but as one not of the world. It is all accomplished through love, and first and foremost the love that God has for each one of us. And it is by that love that a priest persists. But who will answer the call to such a vocation?
