the_rev Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I have prepared this announcment for you. As you all are aware. I have been discerning a religious vocation. However, since I attended a retreat, I have been praying if God is really calling me to the priesthood. I had always thought, that in order to get to Heaven, and be Holy I then had to become a priest. But I now realize, that it was more my will than God’s will. Throughout this year, of 2004, I have had the opportunity to meet all the Republican Candidates running on the Wisconsin Ballot. The highlights being the following: President, George W. Bush Vice-President, Richard Cheney Republican US Senator Candidate, Tim Michels Republican US Congressman, Mark Green I do not find it mere coincidence, that I have accomplished this. I can work for the greater Glory of God, by defending life, by defending the sanctity of marriage, and establishing social justice in this world. It is with my announcement on PM, that through more fervent prayer, I will truly find out if God is calling me to be a politician. All I ask is for your prayers during this time. God Bless You!

the_rev Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 Also, as I begin babysitting, I realize the desire in having children. If i was to become a priest, I'd think I'd spend my whole life as a priest wishing I had children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanvean Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Yes... there's no disappointment, rather I'm so happy to hear that you've found more clarity towards what God has planned for you... the only disappointment would be if you were walking away from God's will, rather than seeking it always! May God bless you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 rev, it is wonderful that you are so open to God's call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin D Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Ed I'm not disappointed, because you're following what God's will is for you. God doesn't call everyone to the religious life, if he did... who would make the babies? I'm still discerning between the priesthood and married life, so who knows? God Bless man, now all you have to do is get into politics, law, and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
