MIGUEL AGUSTÍN PAGÁN

Eleven years ago, I did not realize how attracted I was to the priesthood. I did not realize that most eight-year-olds did not 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, peace, like a clear stream, would trickle into my heart when I thought about becoming a priest. Thus, I decided to enter seminary. Henceforth, I will chase peace through prayer so that I might find God’s will and do it.
