When it was evening he was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. “It is a ghost,” they said, and they cried out in fear. At once Jesus spoke to them, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.

IT REALLY DOES TAKE A VILLAGE

“Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest’” (Mt. 9:37-38). This Gospel passage is probably one of the most popular passages chosen for the ordination Mass of priests and deacons. It is here that Jesus is reminding us that His work cannot be done simply by himself. That the minis- try of love and service, the sharing of mercy and forgiveness is so great and so important that the Lord needs laborers in His field to help cultivate good Christian lives.

Paragraph 1578 in the Catechism of the instructs us that, “no one has the right to receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders… he is called to it by God. Anyone who thinks he recognizes the signs of God’s call to ordained ministry must humbly submit his desire to the authority of the Church…” Indeed, the call to Holy Orders, along with any other Sacrament, is an unmerited gift, given to us by the grace, love, and mercy of Christ. It is a gift that sometimes comes in a loud calling but is often heard in the deafening of silence. It can be a scary moment in a man’s life when he recognizes that God has called him to discern and submit himself to the idea of priestly ministry, to the idea of becoming a laborer of the harvest. “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (Jn 15:13). How scary of an idea that is. That the priesthood is literally the laying down of one’s life not only for his friends, but for those whom he doesn’t even know. The courage for a man to do this cannot be cultivated on his own.

It is true that it is the man who has received the calling in his heart to cultivate and act on that call. But it is also those who surround him who help him realize that calling within himself. From a young age, I would always be told that I would become a priest. That seed of considering a vocation was planted in me from an early age by those who knew me. I remember the time when we would pray a prayer for vocations at the end of every Mass, and at least one person would always come up to me and ask me when I was becoming a priest. I was 15 when we were doing this on a regular basis. But it was in those moments when the thought of even a possibility of having a vocation to the priest- hood would enter my mind. I could not realize this vocation to the priesthood on my own.

It really does take a village to cultivate a vocation to the priesthood. The sacrifice the man makes and the things he puts himself through just to even apply to the Seminary can make men give up. The sacrifices his family makes, allowing him to take on the challenges of discerning so noble a calling can also make a man give up. But the prayers, sacrifices, words of encouragement, and excitement that others show whenever a man discerning a vocation to the priesthood crosses their mind, they are felt.

The Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen wrote a book entitled, “The Priest is Not His Own.” In this book, Venera- ble Sheen points out various circumstances and explains very clearly why a priest cannot be his own. The priest is for our Blessed Mother, who has watched over him and prayed for him since before he was born (see 1:5). Most importantly the priest is not his own, because he is for others. He is called to spend countless hours in prayer before the Lord, not only enriching his spirituality, but interceding for those who have been entrusted to him, especially those who have sacrificed and prayed unceasingly for his vocation. The priest cannot be his own, because that is con- trary to the priesthood, it is contrary to Christ. If a priest is to be an alter Christus, he cannot be contrary to what Christ is. At the altar the priest is no longer himself, but in persona Christi capitis. At the words of institution, it is the priests voice that the faithful hear, but it is Jesus himself saying those words, offering his body and his blood for the salvation of all. The priest too offers his body and his blood for the people of God, and that is a courageous sacrifice.

Now more than ever do we need men to build up the courage to even consider discerning the call to the ministe- rial priesthood. Now more than ever we need men who are willing to give everything up so that they may be changed into an alter Christus, so that they may love the world with the of Jesus. This cannot be done by only one person. It takes a village to encourage and to cultivate vocations to the priesthood. It takes a village to encourage young women to consider discerning their calling to the religious life. The world needs holy women to love selflessly like our Blessed Mother did in her Fiat, in her total yes to God. All of this starts in prayer. Men discerning the priest- hood and women discerning religious life must root themselves in prayer. Those around them must pray for them, that they may have the strength to answer the call, and say the same words we pray in the Our Father and the same words our Blessed Mother said to the , “Fiat voluntas tua,” and the words of St. John Paul II “Totus tuus,” “totally yours.”

Catholic Life Explained Question:

Why does Mary have so many feast days and names?

Answer:

Christians first began celebrating feast days in honor of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, in the fifth century. That celebra- tion (originally called the Feast of the Dormition and now known by Roman Catholics as the of the Assump- tion) was celebrated on August 15. Very soon, however, RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS other special days dedicated to Mary began to appear in Jeru- salem, , and other major cities of the Christian world.
