No desire to marry

[mymamamary]

Dear Brothers and sisters

I am SLOWLY starting to realise somethings. I am slowly starting to think and feel that I want to spend the rest of my life, single, chaste and celibate, as a hopeful, If the LORDS Wills its, Catholic Priest. I know, I am young, I am 17, I am scrupulous, I am whatever. I know. HOWEVER, I am slowly, even admidst my teenage problems, am starting to turn more and more towards Our LORD. I know, I am young, immature maybe, whatever, but, I am slowly starting to finally see this idea more and more clearer. I have been thinking, joyfully, but in a mellow way, on how my hands may never touch a girl in marriage, I do however, hope that these hands may one day Caress the BODY of CHRIST on the Altar, Absolve my fellow brother or sister in Confession, and bless those very same people. I hope I dont sound rosey. I have mellowed quite a bit. I think it has been my intense battles with scrupulosity, despair and temptations that have worn me down, but the desire remains…

Any Ideas??

I also continue to humbly beseech You all for your Prayers. I will be attending a Come and See retreat Weekend in my Home Diocese, at St. Peters Seminary, in London, Ontario. I am so excited to go. I will also in turn pray for all of your intentions.

go to Jerry Usher’s Website Vocation Boom and pursue this…some of our greatest saints knew they were bound for the priesthood when they were much younger than you are now. Lots of PRAYERS from me to YOU

I think I have had this “Desire” (Some people may have a problem with that) since I was “knee high to a grasshopper”. I was maybe 5,6 or 7 when I first thought about it. Now of course, I am nowhere near the Saints, and they are my Brothers and Sisters of whose prayers I most humbly beg…

All Ye Holy Angels and Saints!!

Pray for us!!

I also thank you so very much for your prayers!!

I’ve felt the same way for so long, too.

And then I gave into peer pressure and got a girlfriend. Bad idea. Baaaaad idea.

Now I’m back on track (I think).

You thinkin’ what I think you’re thinkin’? ‘Cause I’m thinkin’ we start the young vocations group up again. You in? (I’m thinkin’ you are )

I have a friend who wanted to be a priest in his early teens. He never married and had a great career. Then he was reminded of his calling. He’s in his 2nd year of seminary and is in his 40’s.

As always, I’m praying for you.

Keep an open mind and open heart. Just follow wherever God leads you. If it is His will then do follow it, if it is not then continue to discern where he truly wants you.

Discernment in the seminary is really what will show you.

If you have not read To Save A Thousand Souls, you should do that immediately.

Ite in pace,

If you are called to the priesthood, you are very likely to have a call to celibacy, so it all makes sense.

May God Bless you abundantly in your vocation!

Not to discourage you, but I have seen many peers and younger devout Catholic men who were discerning and felt a calling to the priesthood. In that calling, they only saw the fire that burned within their heart, and not the cross that comes with it.

It is easy to let our own wills begin to pull us during our times of spiritual consolation.

These are my own personal experiences, and while I am sure that we differ greatly in many ways, I would just urge heavy discernment and reflection on all routes and callings.

Married life has plenty of crosses too.

God Bless
