Answering the Call

The call to be a priest is an extraordinary one.  Society today draws us away from God and focus us on material things.  Even if one tried to devote his life to God, all of the distractions like internet and our pace of life can often prohibit us from nearing the Lord.  To give up a girlfriend and possibly a wife for the call to chastity is often the hardest call that young people considering the priesthood face.  Those who do accept the call are greatly revered by all who see them.  They are trained to teach about the Lord and serve as our role models.  Brett Metzler expresses how he felt like he should give up being a priest and get married.  But when he prays to God, He reinforces the message to Ben that he should carry on and become a priest.
