When Chaplain Fr. Jon Meyer was about to be ordained as a priest in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, he was interviewed regarding his Vocation. One of the things he said has often been quoted from that interview:
“Priests need families and families need priests.”
Marriage and Holy Orders are Vocational Sacraments--both are are lifestyles rooted in Christ and expressed in different ways.
They share a call to holiness, love and total self gift.
May we create relationships with the priests in our churches and dioceses that fortify and enrich one another's Vocations.
