Seems as though the Philadelphia Phillies are "staying awake" and "staying alive". Two challenging demands not only of pennent races but of our Christian lives as well. Of course, saying "yes" to Jesus with our whole lives assures us of both realities. Thus, the real demand of the Gospel is revealed, to stay united to our Lord Jesus. Such is our Christian Vocation and there is no greater gift than that.
We have welcomed back to St. Charles Seminary, 42 Philadelphia seminarians. Men who have discovered that at this time of their lives, staying close to Jesus, being one with him, demands their presence in seminary formation. What a gift to the Church! What a gift to us!
What is it that Jesus demands of you at this time? What does union with him look like at this point in your life? Let us be sure to answer that question, so as to Stay Awake, Stay Alive and be that gift for others, in this adventure of "heeding the call".
Welcome to the new Heeding the Call blog, a resource for men discerning the call to priesthood. Please take a moment to look around, and feel free to post a comment, thought or question!
