This is just based on me being a doubting, hard headed, hard hearted man…as I was sitting here allowing the temptation of “figuring it all out” plague my mind and looking beyond the idea of God and all this complexities…

My heart was filled at the idea of a priest and a nun, a man/woman who has devoted his life to this God that so many deny…a person who gives it all up, but gains it all back, simply off of his faith. These are real men and women. Even after all the scandals, and skeptics, they still come and stand for what they know is true. They know it’s true not based on what can be proven but what can’t.

If you are a priest or nun or know one lets just pray for them, and just give them a little bit more juice in their tank to keep them strong. Keep them fighting. Keep them as soldiers in Gods army of LOVE.

Because I don’t know how they do it.
 
I think you nailed it when you put the word LOVE in all caps. While we may all come to different conclusions about how we are called, while we are all called to different vocations, ultimately the call and response are rooted in the love of Christ calling out to the soul and the soul responding fully and unreservedly to that call. I want to be a priest because I love Christ and I want others to love Him.

Then my prayers are with you brother.

Dear God, please help my brother Edward George to stay with you, and to find his way to priesthood if that is where you need him. Men like me need men like him.

Amen.
 
Prayer for Religious Priests, Brothers and Sisters
Heavenly Father, in Your wisdom You have called certain women and men to a life of special consecration so that in prayerful observance of a lifestyle of poverty, chaste celibacy and obedience, they might be witnesses to us that, as St. Paul says, “our true citizenship is in heaven”. Give them, Lord, the grace of joy and perseverance in their holy vocation. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.

Although i am neither a Nun or a Priest just a lay person who was recently converted even though i was born a cathloic. enlightenment was not with me. but since i my ‘conversion’ for want of a better word, everything is changed, i am a 48 year old mother of 7. and i have had a rough time in the past 25 years of mirrage. to cut a long story short, i Love God more than my own life and i will die for him, i cant stop thinking about him all day every day, i am so drawn to be with him in the church, my soul i so filled with the Holy Spirit i think its going to burst, i well up with excitment before i get Holy Communion on sundays and tuesdays.
just thought i would share, May God’s Holy Will Be Done!
 
Lord, please bless our priests and nuns, and grant them a place in Heaven for all their love, prayers, mortifications, and devotion. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
