I was a law professor

John Paul II

Rosary

I firmly believe that everything is on God’s time schedule. I have done nothing special except answer “Yes” to a call from God. All of my prayers are simply centered on handing my “Will” over to God. There is no “I want” involved in my vocation other than I want what God wants. I truly believe that the priesthood is a gift from God. I cannot seek it or aspire to it. I must be called to it. As a priest I would be participating in Christ’s priesthood and acting In Persona Christi. If I am to become a priest, I must be willing to give all of myself, my thoughts, words, and deeds, to ministering to his children. I must realize the awesomeness that God is placing in my hands and understand that it is not I who is performing these ministerial duties but Christ, with The Holy Spirit, working through me.

Celebrating the Mass
