As
in the past, God is calling men today to serve
as priests in the Catholic Church. Throughout
history, many have been called to the priesthood.
They have lived exemplary lives and have extended
the mission of Jesus Christ around the world.
There are many heroic stories to be told about
priests in every age. Yet, today it is harder
than in the past to discover God's call. There
are so many valuable ways that you can choose
to live your life. There are so many distractions
that make it hard to hear God's voice. Discerning
a vocation is a challenge, no doubt about it.
It can be especially tough today because others,
even parents and friends, may not be encouraging
or supportive.
In the world of the Third Millennium, many are
hungry to find greater meaning in life, eager
to discover some purpose for their life. The life
of a priest is focused on helping people address
the deeper questions of life. Priests are needed
today more than ever. Maybe God is calling you
to be a priest? You will not know for sure unless
you consider the possibility!

Whoever opens his heart to Christ will not only understand
the mystery of his own existence, but also that of his
own vocation; he will bear the abundant fruit of grace.

For the 42nd World Day of Prayer for Vocations
