“Lahat ng ayaw niya, ginagawa ko,” Julio or Jun Roxas revealed when asked for the secret of their love’s staying power. Then, smiling, he adds: “Ayaw niyang mamalantsa, namamalantsa ako; ayaw niyang maglaba; naglalaba ako.”
Paul defined the purpose of the “grace” given to him, i.e., his conversion and call: “to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in performing the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the holy Spirit” (Rom 15:16).
Father, I feel that I am being haunted by my vocation. Everytime I wish to forget it and shift to other profession, the thought of priesthood returns and the eagerness to be in the seminary is there. I joined several search-ins of different congregations but my application was always denied because of my parent’s CANADIAN DREAM.
