Have you ever thought about being a priest?
An Invitation from the late Pope John Paul II
My dear brother...My reason for speaking to you today about total dedication to God in the priesthood is that Christ may be calling you to this extraordinary adventure. He needs, and He wants to need, your person, your intelligence, your energy, your faith, your love, and your holiness. If it is to priesthood that Christ is calling you, it is because He wishes to exercise His priesthood through your dedication and priestly mission. He wants to speak to the people of today through your voice. He wants to consecrate the Eucharist and forgive sins through you. He wants to live with your heart. He wants to help with your hands. He wants to save through your efforts. He wants to go many places in the world and to enter many hearts through you. Think about it carefully. The response that you give is given personally to Christ!
