So on Facebook my youth ministry has a Lifeteen group that we all post stuff in. One of our core members posted this amazing story of a baseball player who gave up the Major Leagues to become a priest.

It's kinda a long story, but it truly is worth reading all of it.

I'm a baseball fan. I'd heard the stories of his mind-boggling stats in 2009, but he seemed to fall off the face of the Earth after that while many of the guys he played with and was better than moved on to the majors. Well, that answers that question, at least. Good for him.

The writer of the story seemed to have a home run, themselves, and something I find eminently quotable:

The Catholic Church in which Grant Desme believes stands for good. God needs priests to resurrect the church's standing and lead people to heaven, to counsel the troubled and bring peace to the sick, to understand the supernatural for those who can't.[/quote]
