I am always struck by how tentative the process of discussing vocations can be.  Some people feel quite awkward, perhaps they are wary of committing themselves and unsure about what they are really feeling. I am equally struck by how much support and encouragement applicants for the priesthood can get from one another as they realise that they are not alone and can share their thoughts with like minded individuals. Perhaps an individual is not ready to share his thoughts with other applicants. Some enquirers derive more from a quiet informal chat with their parish priest or with their diocesan vocations director.

To be a priest in Scotland today is “a life worth living” and a path worth taking. So give it some quiet thought. It can be a challenging life but it can also be a very rewarding life where you are able to make a difference in the lives of others. The invitation to “make disciples of all the nations” is a command to each one of us. Are you thinking about becoming a priest?
