Joy in the Priesthood

Priests: Joys and Sorrows of the Ordained Ministry


To become a priest is not so much difficult but how to live as a priest is. In the same manner, the human aspect of priests remains even after having been ordained so we cannot expect that he is immune from all temptations. In spite of all his struggles in life, we must always remember that he has enough grace from God to make him strong and live the priestly life. He can resist the urges of the flesh that continue to reside in his very nature as a human being. He has a lot of reasons to be happy in his ministry for Christ chose him (Priest) to be His representative. For this reason alone we cannot deny that there is happiness in the priesthood. 
 
Pope Francis is indeed a living example for us on what it means to be happy in the priesthood. He has shown how he has gone through the challenges in his ministry yet became victorious against the things that have threatened his priestly calling. Now as seminarian in this new age that full of challenges have enough reason to be brave and not to be afraid to continue in responding God's call for the Grace of God is good enough for us to resist temptations. Go go go go go go go seminarians!
