Lately, I’ve been feeling a call to the priesthood. I would appreciate some prayers as I begin to discern this call.
May the Peace of Christ be with you!

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Lord, there are so many things in my life that I do not understand,
so many questions about the future that I need to ask.
What is Your plan for me?
What is the work You want me to do?
All I really know is that You love me.
Show me the road You want me to walk –
to fulfillment, to happiness, to holiness.
And if You are calling me to
priesthood or to the religious life, give me the strength to say “yes”
and the grace to begin even now
to prepare myself for the challenge
of a life spent in Your service and
in the care of Your people.
I ask You this in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
(Theodore Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop Emeritus of Washington)

Over the past month and a half God has not stopped nudging me ever so gently toward the priesthood. He has been consistently eliminating my fears and my trust in Him has grown tremendously. Lately, I’ve been feeling certain that God is calling me to be a priest. I told this to the priest at my home parish this past Friday and now I’m waiting for a call from the diocese’s vocation director.
Seeing as how I’ve only been seriously discerning this for less than two months, I’m aware that God may not be calling me to priesthood. However, I know He’s at least calling me to look into it more.
I must ask for prayers again. Although we haven’t discussed it much, I know my mom has mixed emotions about me becoming a priest (I’m not overly concerned about this. She’ll come around eventually, but a quick prayer for her could never hurt). Also, I don’t know what the next step is. In two weeks I’ll be starting my sophomore year of college. Right now my major is electrical engineering. I most likely won’t change anything for the moment; but part of me feels like I shouldn’t hesitate to at least attempt to change my major to philosophy. Pray for all men and women who are considering a religious vocation, that the Holy Spirit may open our ears to hear God’s calling and grant us the grace and obedience to follow wherever He leads.
Thank you for the prayers, I’ll be sure to pray for you as well. Feel free to post or message me with any specific intentions of yours.
