A couple of years ago, as I was experiencing a reawakening of faith, I began to feel a desire to be a vessel of God’s grace sacramentally. When I witness people going through conversion or reconversion, I feel compelled to help them on their journey home. Whether I’m at Mass or elsewhere and hear announcements about vocations, a recurring thought is, “What are you waiting for?” I believe that the diocesan priesthood is the most fitting vocation for me to assist others on their spiritual journey.
