Why do you feel called to the Priesthood? I feel called to the priesthood because I desire to share the love and mercy of Jesus Christ to all His people through the sacraments and a holy way of life.

What advice would you give to a man considering the Priesthood? Our God calls ordinary men to do extraordinary things for His people. Do not allow fear or irrational thoughts of unworthiness hinder your discernment. Remember to pray often, seek spiritual direction from a priest, and attend the sacraments.
