My whole life has been a story of conversion. I was not raised Catholic, but converted to the faith some years ago. Since then I have found myself time and again returning to God, converting again to Him after periods of lukewarm commitment, as we all do. During one such period of conversion, the priest who helped restore my fervor was a pious man of extraordinary faith. While I watched his example I began to hear a gentle, quiet voice telling me to imitate him. I suspect this was God's own voice inviting me to consider the priesthood. This priest became an example of Christ to me and I began to wonder, "Can I also imitate Christ in the unique way a priest does?" I have been exploring this question ever since. The decision to enter seminary was the easy part. Now I have the tough job of letting the seminary help me discern whether God actually wants me to become an alter Christus, another Christ. But with God’s help and your prayers I hope to arrive one day soon at the altar of God to receive Holy Orders.
