Repent and believe in the Gospel

Ash Wednesday has begun, and with it the Season of Lent.

May we remember, through the crosses we receive in the blessed ash, that we are graced only with a limited time in this world and that we are called to live wisely.

We start the great journey of introspection today…

Have I lived as I was called by God to live?
Is my life a true reflection of the faith I profess?

Repent and Believe in the Gospel 📖🙏🏻

Don't miss out, God is calling you!

How do I know what God is calling me to do? You must pray every single day, asking God to reveal His plan for you. Do not ask yourself, “What do I want to do with my life?”This is the wrong question! Rather, you should be thinking and asking: “Jesus, what do You want me to do?” And listen for the answer! Listen with your heart, not just your head! The discernment process in the priesthood must also include the Church. Your bishop is the one who will ultimately decide who is and who is not called to be a diocesan priest. He is assisted in this by the vocations office and the seminary staff.

Let us discern!

What is a priest? A priest is a Christian, a member of the Church, called by God to proclaim the “Good News” of Salvation to the world and to lead God’s people in worship, especially in making present the saving Sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross in the Eucharist. He is also privileged to bring Christ to people in the Sacraments: he gives the life of Christ to people in Baptism; he forgives their sins in Reconciliation; he anoints the sick; he officiates at weddings. In general, the priest brings Jesus Christ to people in their spiritual needs.

What exactly is a “vocation”? A vocation is a call from God to do something specifically for God and for His kingdom. The primary vocation of every person is to be holy! It is the divine calling to love and serve God, to obey his commandments, and to cooperate with Christ in the work of redemption by loving and serving others. Everyone is called to live the vocation of holiness, but everyone lives it in a special and unique way according to the plan of God.

What in particular are some of the vocations that I might be called to follow? Many people are called to the vocation of marriage, while others may be called to the vocation of priesthood, to the religious life as a sister or brother, or to the diaconate. Equally Christ calls some to the commitment of single life. Remember: It is normal to desire marriage and family. Just because you have this desire does not exclude the possibility that you have a vocation to the priesthood or religious service.
