Who influenced / inspired you to priesthood? The person who inspired me to the priesthood was Father Paul Brant; he was the one who taught me how loving others can make a huge difference in people’s lives.
What would you say to a young man who thinks he may have a vocation? Let God talk, and when he does, listen. We tend to always be busy or put attention to other things that this world offers. If you want to discern the vocation of the priesthood, sit down in front of the Holy Eucharist, tell him what you feel, then let him talk to you.
Favorite Scripture passages: John 1:43-51 I love this scripture passage because Jesus makes it know that he never takes his eyes from us, and it reminds me a lot of how my relationship with God started.
Favorite saint: Padre Pío is my favorite saint because he loved with a passion and always put other before his self.
