My vocation (again lol)

[Brother_Justin]

In the next few days I find out if the Salesians want to take me on as a canidate. This means that I would work for 3 years to pay off my school loans. I would not be a brother or anything like that, but I would live in a formation house. I would teach at a boys home or at a Salesian school. This is my only feasible route to priesthood right now and I need your prayers. Everything has said NO in the entire year long process. I have cried, I have worked, and I have prayed. Fr. Steve called me today and said it looked good. I need a rubber stamp from the provential and I am a canidate. Please please please pray for me. This program would have me a clerical brother in six years and a priest in eleven. I know it seems like a long time but it is what I want. Im on edge for the next week and would appriciate a lot of prayer! Thanks all!

I am not sure what rode I think that is right!

That is their website. I know the marian shrine is at stony point! Just looking at the website makes me nervous lol! Its in God's hands I guess. If I do get in Anawim we should do coffee and tea some time!

You definitely have my prayers. It really doesn't matter how often you hear NO. One Yes is all that's necessary for God.

Sure...I make regular stops in their book store! Which can be dangerously expensive trips

I haven't a clue of qualifications, what one does or anything to become a bro or a priest. But God does. May God put the word in and bless you in your endeavor. Prayers for you.

-Peace-

LOL oh trust me I know this! I have only visted the bookstore once and it was a close call !


Thank you all for your prayers and words of support. It has been a long road, but I know that God wouldn't have gotten me this far if He didn't have a good plan ! In the wise words of somone else I'm sure, "Now we wait."

Guess who has spent a year as a Salesian Pre-novitiate (maybe you call it candidate there )

Mary, Helper of Christians
Pray for Justin
Amen

 

[Foundthelight]

Praying for you. We need more priests!

Canidate is not a pre-novice. I can't start the pre-novice process until I have payed back all my loans. This will take 3 years. Thus they throw me into the frey and pay me to teach for 3 years. Durring this time I teach at a boy home, I work closely with the street kids, and I teach school. I am praying that this is God's will lol. It will be a long road for me, but the cool part is the entire time I will be in the field being a chaste man working the fields for God and for St. Don Bosco. Mary help of Christians being my guide!

Thank you all for your support it helps. I am very at ease actualy, but of course I am very nervous !

Brother_Justin,

May God bless you in your discernment. I pray that God's will may be done for you.

 

[hawko]

If this is where the Lord wants you to be, it will work out for you. I will remember you in my prayers also. God Bless !

 

[Protinus]

our Brother Justin: our faith sustains you and perhaps by monetary means as well.

I would hope that you would consider the Jesuits at this time in your formation.
