Hey
Unfortunately it is extremely late. I am going to the Diaconate ordination tomorrow at the major seminary here. Ordination is an almost unobtainable reality that some days leaves me breathless. I know where the Lord is calling me. He is calling me to be a Priest of the church of Jesus Christ. This has Gone by so quick. I have one week then I am back home. I am so nervous, I have done well this year though and couldn't have grown without the help of priests and good friends I know. I love the Church with all my heart. I just hope that even though seminary is hard....I might be able to continue Lord willing. I have been so tired this week. "Burning the midnight oil" according to the vice Rector. I love my teachers the formators and the Body of Christ, in which I am apart of. Aside from my theological ramblings that I know little of, the year has brought joy to my heart that wasn't there before. This joy has not yet been identified, but whether they still want me to continue or not in formation I will still follow Christ. This blind faith that I have has been something that has led me here to the seminary. Next year no matter where or how I will continue to study and to discern his call. I have overcome the swine flu having appendicitis and overcoming many issues within myself. My laziness is gone like a weight lifted from me. I can feel the Spirit Guide me.... although most of the time I know not where. I am a man of God and have had some fallbacks and some triumphs this year. I have one goal and one only to serve in the vineyard of the Lord in whatever capacity he wants for me to do so. The summer will bring trials and consolations at the Camp for Catholic kids in which I will be working at. I was a camper there. It was the first time I asked for the blessed mothers intercession at this place. This place has memories of my childhood. To return and serve at the alter where the first time I had ever done so, will be something that moves me. I hope to bring what I know now to that place that helped form my heart for Christ. The priest in charge of running the camp helped foster my vocation. He was the priest that got me to serve at altar first. Doing so ever since those days. The Lord wants to bring me back to that same chapel in the middle of His creation. There is a reason that will be revealed there for my service there. I can not wait to see what is in store for the summer and my life. He is rises Indeed! Alleluia! Our lady of good council Pray for me.
