A missionary priest brings Jesus to people and people to Jesus. For this reason, the man who feel the call to this vocation has a deep concern for the people of God. He wants to help them grow in holiness; he wants to ti be a priest for teach them the truths of the faith; he wants to minster to them during the trials of life. The vocation of priesthood is about leading others to heaven.
If you’ve thought about the possibility of priesthood like a missionary, but don’t yet have these signs and qualities, don’t despair! All people must strive for holiness. And future missionary priests go through a long and intensive formation period, precisely to help them grow in virtue and be effective in their ministry.
If you’re interested in this vocation, ask God for this special grace. He can help you further discern your vocation. And remember that true happiness and peace depend on following God’s perfect will for your life. If God wants you to be a priest, trust in his grace to lead you.
We are waiting for you in our mission in Mange Bureh, Sierra Leone, West Africa!
Alfredo, MCIU
