Many are called, but few are chosen (Mt. 22:14).
There can be no greater joy
than to risk one’s life for the Lord!
I would like to say this especially to you, the young. Do not be deaf to the Lord’s call. If he calls you to follow this path, do not pull your oars into the boat, but trust him. Do not yield to fear, which paralyzes us before the great heights to which the Lord points us.
Always remember that to those who leave their nets and boat behind, and follow him, the Lord promises the joy of a new life that can fill our hearts and enliven our journey.
(Pope Francis)
Life is rich with God’s gifts — family, friends, education, work, sports, and hobbies. He calls you to share His message of love, joy, justice, and peace with everyone you meet. Through prayer, service, and building meaningful connections, you can reflect Jesus’ love in the world. By dedicating your best efforts to Him, you turn your pursuits into offerings that honor His purpose in your life.
Among the best gifts that God can give to a young man is the priesthood. Under the priest’s servant leadership in the Church, people will be led closer to God and to each other.
This website will help you discern your possible vocation to the priesthood. Your frequent contact with Jesus in the Eucharist, along with your daily prayers, basic catechism, and virtues, will help you hear God’s call.
