Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?

"If you are a young man...

"...wondering about your mission, your vocation, I would invite you to take a chance. The seminary is a win, win situation. Go and discern your call where real discernment takes place. If you stay, you will learn to surrender to God as a faithful priest. If you leave, you will have learned how to surrender to God so to be a great husband and Father. We await your presence at Seminary so that you can make Jesus present at the Altar for the people of God!"
from the "Vocation Story" of Rev. Mr. Patrick Farley
(soon to be ordained a priest - Deo volente)
on the Vocations website of the Diocese of Phoenix.
