Although I grew up always practicing my faith I never really seriously considered the priesthood, I thought that I'd likely get married one day. However, after being out of college for almost a couple years, I started to feel drawn to the priesthood and religious life. At first I thought I would end up in a religious order, because I was attracted to the communal and contemplative life. To help discern my vocation, I became a college missionary with Brew City Catholic. By going to daily mass and praying a holy hour everyday my relationship with God grew deeper. Also, during my time at Brew City, I met a number of young diocesan priests that were living out their priesthood in a beautiful, and radical way given over to God and his people. This really attracted me to the diocesan priesthood and I was able to envision myself doing the same. Because of this, it was a simple and natural decision to enter the seminary.
Oneself. It's easy to take the road with less challenges and sacrifice.
Psalm 63. "O God, you are my God, for you I long; for you my soul is thirsting." It sums up what the heart wants.
Spending time with old friends and family.
Any beautiful church.
In my room.
St. Joseph of Cupertino.
