If
you are able to open your hearts and minds with
availability, you will discover "your vocation",
in other words, the plan that God
in his love has devised for you from eternity.
…if this is
your vocation, you will be a priest or a religious,
giving your life to Christ and to the Church with
an undivided heart and thus becoming a sign of
God's loving
presence in today's world.
Yes, you too can be one of these! I am well aware
that you may feel hesitant when faced with such
a proposal; but I say to you: do
not be afraid! God
does not let himself be outdone in generosity!
After almost 60 years of being a priest, I am
happy to bear my witness to all of you here: it
is beautiful to be able to
spend oneself without reserve
for the cause of the Kingdom of God!

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom
shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said,
"Here am I! Send me."
