When God Calls...

I have a bunch of primary children tomorrow for catechism class to present on the topic of 'Holy Orders'. I have to impress on them the following:



a. being a priest doesn't necessary mean you are an alien from another planet.

b. a priest can lead a normal life like playing computer games, watching movies and hanging out with friends - besides fulfilling their needed presence for preaching and giving of the Sacraments.

c. that a person can be called to be a priest or a religious by God at any time and not necessarily through the latest handphone.

d. that there are other categories to the religious life besides the priesthood, e.g. OFM (out for money), CICM (can i collect money?), etc...

e. this life may be a little tough but it is a fulfilling and satisfying one.



I hope to hear at least one child wanting to take up the challenge to follow this vocation in life later! A tall order but stranger things have happened...
