Meet our Archdiocese of Atlanta seminarians! 👋

This is Chris Larkins, from Dacula, GA, a parishioner at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Lawrenceville. After being an Industrial Engineering major at Georgia Tech, he's now enjoying seminary life while discerning the priesthood.

Here is Chris' advice for young men discerning the priesthood:

"To the men who are thinking about the priesthood or who have thought about the priesthood, I encourage you to do three things that were very helpful in my life: 1) Develop a greater public and private prayer life. This includes trying to go to daily Mass when possible and going to confession at least once a month. Try to spend at least 15 minutes daily in private, quiet prayer. 2) Read To Save a Thousand Souls. It is a great book that introduces the reality of the Diocesan priesthood. 3) Tell your parish priest and/or the Vocations Director that you have thought about the priesthood. Discernment involves the Church, and others can help you take the appropriate next steps."

Today is Priesthood Sunday! Thank your priests at mass today and always keep them in your prayers as they live out their sacred vocations in service to the Church! 🙏

"Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of our priests. Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.

Help our priests to be strong in their vocation. Set their souls on fire with love for your people.

Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom.

Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel. Allow them to experience joy in their ministry.

Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest.

Amen."

Priests wield a sacred power.

When a priest makes the sacraments present, he wields a sacred power from God, in Latin, sacra potestas. This power is given by the Holy Spirit, when a priest receives the Sacrament of Holy Orders through the laying on of hands by a Bishop.

The exercise of this power is granted by Christ for and through His Church, for the purpose of building His kingdom on Earth and the salvation of souls.
