**A vocation is a calling from God. This vocation may be a calling to the priesthood, to the religious life, to marriage, or to the single life.**

To the diaconate!

We had a speaker on the Eucharist last night! What passion and love he expressed for the Holy Eucharist. I was nearly in tears )definitely all choked up!)

One of the points he stressed is that the priest who is saying the Mass and consecrating the Eucharist is --

the representative of Christ on earth (through his consecration during the Sacrament of HOLY ORDERS) and should be viewed by us (and all in the congregation/parish in such a light.

Let's try that again.......

In other words, we have grown lax in our respect for any and all priests.

Hello,

I googled my name, and saw both Catholic Exchange and this site came up with my vocations article. So I thought I'd register and intro myself.

I have felt called to the priesthood for quite a while now, and I'm looking into what order I'm to be with. I think I will join our diocese, but I am looking into the Legion of Christ.

Anyways, I'm launching a new website, http://www.avemarisstella.com

and if you'd like to subscribe to my publications emails, email, newsletter@avemarisstella.com

Peace of Christ be with you always!

Eddie Lee (Founder of AMS Publications)

p.s. I really appreciate the prayers! I need them more than ever at this time.
