I have often been asked to tell the story of my vocation; and at this point, this should be very easy for me. However, it has not become any easier. I did not receive my calling at one specific moment in my life. Some of my earliest memories are of attending Mass and thinking about serving on the altar. It was an idea that has never left me; although at times, I tried to clear it from my mind. The best way to describe my vocation during these times would be to say that God was more or less “nagging” me to consider the priesthood more prayerfully.
