Priesthood

I believe that all people in the world are called to do something. Whether it be to be a married person or to join to priesthood, we all have something we are called to do by God. As a priest says in the video, “it is not natural to be a priest, it is supernatural.” Another priest said that priesthood is anti-cultural. It is hard to overcome the pressures of society. Many people may be being called to be a priest or something else and they are just not hearing the call because all of the world’s distractions such as TV, movies, sports, cellphones, computers, parties, and many more things are blocking them. Not that any of those things are bad, they must be used in moderation and not be put in front of or before your relationship with God. All of us needs to keep our ears open and listen for the call that God is sending us. While he might not be clear with His message about what He wants you to do at this moment, at some point in our lives, it will become clear and that is the time we need to pay attention and listen to whatever call God gives us. The priesthood is an incredible calling that not all people are called to, but those who are called to the priesthood need to heed that calling and follow God because He has a plan for us all. Priests do m any things, such as being a counselor, but they are also a leader among their congregation and to all people who hear him. It is an important calling or job and if you are called to be a priest you need to take that calling. I found it touching when the priest got out of his car and blessed Matthew, the 17-year-old boy injured badly in a car crash. This shows priests are not only “on duty” while they are preaching or in their Church, but they are called to help people everywhere at any time.
