DOYE REASONER BAKER
From the time I was little, I remember having the desire to be Christ’s priest. However, it was not until I was at Texas A&M for my undergraduate studies that I started to seriously consider this vocation. Through learning to love the Triune God through the Liturgy, personal prayer, and Mary, the Holy Spirit worked on my desire to love and serve the Lord, and it grew greater and deeper. From this desire to serve the Mystical Body of Christ, the Lord has led me to discern His Priesthood.
