Let's talk about becoming a priest

Yes, I agree with you because the first point is to love Christ. And because you love him, you want to give him all you life. There is no highest love than to give his life for whom we love.

I know, right? Sometimes it seems that we’ve reduced religious priests to “priest in slightly different clothes”.

It’s sad, but many people have really reduced it to that. If I ask someone why they want to become a “Franciscan priest” (which Br. JR would probably tell us is a misnomer to begin with), they’ll probably tell me something like “I like Franciscans and I want to be a priest”.

It’s something that we’ll need to better education Catholics about so that we can avoid such stereotypes.
