Twelve years ago, I did not realize how attracted I was to the priesthood. I did not realize that most eight-year-olds didn’t daydream about giving homilies. It seemed natural to imagine myself celebrating the Holy Mass. My attraction to the priesthood became an indicator of what my vocation was only when I started to pray. While praying about the priesthood, peace, like a clear stream, would trickle into my heart. Thus, I decided to enter seminary. Henceforth, I will chase peace through prayer so that I might find God’s will and do it.
