I believe I first truly considered the priesthood when I was about 13 years old. I knew that I would probably either pursue this calling or one of a military career. My parents had raised me to respect and honor the Church and the priesthood at an early age. I can remember especially during my teenage years when I would be at mass how it would leave an impression on me to see the priest change ordinary bread and wine into the Body and Blood of our Lord. I would always think that maybe that was something I was called to do, too. Beginning studies for the priesthood is not only something a person chooses to do, but something they are chosen to do. God chooses many for His service. I knew that if I put my trust in the Lord that I would not be led astray.
