I want you

"During times of war in the United States, recruiting posters depicted Uncle Sam pointing a menacing finger while the caption declared, '(I want) you!'

"Many young people felt a need to respond to the challenge....

"Anyone who could not respond to the call had to make an examination of conscience and question why he was not joining the effort.

"In the Catholic Church, the Holy Spirit... plants the grace of a vocation in each person's heart:

"'Christ wants you!'"
