Colleen Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 [quote name='Raphael' date='Mar 5 2004, 06:34 PM'] lol I remember when I met him, it was like this: Fr. Groeschel: What's your name? Me: Micah Murphy Fr. Groeschel: Murphy, eh? Do you know what that means? Me: Yes, it's Gaelic for "sea warrior". Fr. Groeschel, grabbing my hand and pulling himself in close to my face: Or pirate! Ah, I do love that friar...he's a very good man... [/quote] that is SO cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yiannii Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 In Melbourne this year we have 13 young men entering the seminary which is up by about 10 from last year. Also there was an Adore 2004 congress held in Melbourne and a number of youths are trying out the OATH religous life this year. Last year we also had a Vocations Crongress which (in my belief) has helped move things along. Yianni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericho923 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 heya all, pray for me, i am visiting the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal this coming week and this could be it! I am on spring break and about 6 of my friends are using the week to visit orders...all different! We are definitively not the future, but the present of the Church. God calls, may we listen.

Rebirth flame Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 yeah, i'm discerning what my true calling is as well. i dunno if any of you have poked your heads into the discernment thread for guys in creepy aliens or not, but i've been confusing myself alot as of late. people keep coming up to me (i've had 4 in the last week) and asking me if i'm considering the priest-hood. i don't really know if the priest-hood is for me. with my personality, i'd rather do things related to art, writing, religious education, or youth ministry. but if God is calling me to become a priest, far beit from me to tell Him He's wrong (cuz He never is). so yeah, if you could pray for all those discerning, and/or you have any advice, please post it!!!! thanx!!!
