Hello everyone,
This will be my last post to this blog as I have discerned
that I should leave seminary formation for the priesthood. There are some mixed emotions in this,
sadness as I have been on this track for three years, so it is a part of me,
but greater joy since I feel that this is what God wants me to do. I have had very clear answer to my prayers
asking God for guidance. He has made it
clear that the priesthood is not the route He wishes me to go at this
point. I say, “at this point” not
because I am second guessing the decision, but simply because God works in
mysterious ways and I don’t know all of where my life will go.
My time in seminary has been great: I have grown closer to
God, learned a lot, and grown into a better man. If you ever know a man who is considering the
seminary and open to the possibility of the priesthood I hope that you will
encourage him. Some of them will go all
the way to priesthood, some wont, but all of them will be better for it.
I am sorry that I have not been able to tell everyone of
this decision individually. I am even busier
than ever as I am finishing the academic year and still fully involved in the
formation process until the day I walk out of here. I am also job hunting, who knows where God
will take me, but I will go wherever I feel Him leading.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone for their support
during this process. Specifically my
Bishop, my vocation directors, and my family, but everyone else as well.
Peace,
Adam
