KYLE JOSEPH LENNOX

My call to the priesthood started on a November night two years ago, while I was attending Texas A&M. I didn’t know what I wanted to do in life and had been praying about it. It was late at night, and I had been on my computer for some time.  I got up and got ready for bed, and I had an extreme urge to look in the mirror. I flipped on the lights, and I saw myself in a cassock and collar. The sight stunned me. After a bit, I got comfortable with the sight, and I found great peace in looking at it. I discerned for a year and a half if I should enter seminary, and I got the call to enter last November. Today, Psalm 110:4 seems to appear to me often and it gives me great comfort. I am at peace and continue to strive to be closer to the Lord, and I desire to help others around me to strive to be closer to him, too.
