Just got the official call today (in the form of a phone call from the Vocation director).

I am entering the college seminary program for the Archdiocese of New York, with the hopes of one day being ordained to the priesthood.

Please pray for me. You will be in my prayers.

:highprayer:
 
***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death
Amen.

Congratulations to you! I am praying for you as you enter this phase of your life.
Mary.

God bless you in your journey to the priesthood. May God guide your formation, and form you into the man he desires you to be.

My suggestions for you:

be very close to Our Lord and Our Lady.
Listen to your formation directors, and heed their advice
Be open and honest to your spiritual director. This relationship between you and your spiritual director will be the most important relationship you will have in seminary, don’t neglect this ministry the Church provides, and veil nothing to him not even your deepest darkest secrets.
Make friends in seminary and at the same time build a relationship with the seminarians at your seminary in your diocese. If God willing you become a priest, these will become very essential in your continual formation after your ordination.
Also remember that this is a dual discernment, you discern along side the Church so don’t be discouraged if the Church discerns something you don’t agree with or even asks you to step out of formation, I’m sure this won’t happen but out of obedience you need to trust what the Church decides for you.

God bless you will be in my prayers.
 
Congratulations! I will pray for you, and I wish you luck in your journey to the Priesthood. May God bless and guide you always.
 
God bless you on your journey. The Church is so in need of good men to become priests. May the Holy Spirit bless you and guide so that one day you may become a priest of the sort that people speak of that helped them in the walk of faith.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Wonderful! :clapping:

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.:angel1:
 
Congratulations!

Praying that the Lord may guide you and provide you with all necessary graces.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
 
Congratulations and God bless you.

Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
