“But the more I prayed and volunteered at my parish, the more joy I felt in doing parish work, and I felt the need to explore why I experienced this joy, a joy that I did not feel in my regular job as an attorney.”

A short article like this cannot fully describe or explain everything about a man’s call to the Priestly ministry. And because words and phrases can be translated by the reader’s own biases and agenda and fears, can we not just interpret the article as one man giving glory to God for the joy he finds in Church ministry as a “late in life” Priest?

There may be people who read this article who have hesitated to accept the Call of God on their lives and who read themselves into the narrative and then make the decision to accept their Call. I never underestimate the Power of God through the written word.
