Gee, I hope the economy isn’t the reason for this. What do you think.. I don't like girls, I want a job which gives security, not much work, status and I can tell others what to do. Lots of male friends. Almost everyone who applies gets hired. not bad.

There was a time when young boys were inspired by parish priests, teachers, missionary zeal. Long seminary, where only a few actually made it. Quality difference ??

That doesn't describe the life of any diocesan priest I know, sorry.

We sponsored a bowling night for a group of seminarians last night. One of the seminarians related that he had been in a serious rellationship and was thinking about marriage, but never pursued it because he did not feel at peace with that decision.

After counseling from a wise Jesuit to search for that peace, he entered the priesthood at our local seminarian.

And found the peace that had previously eluded him.

May God bless him abundantly!
