‘Vocations’ Archives
Ordination
This Saturday, I was ordained a priest. It's been difficult to put a finger on what to say about it, exactly. I originally began blogging to explore the discernment process, a theme I more-or-less stayed true to through my three projects, Saint Some Days, Fiat: Discerning God's Call, and here at Quid Sit? And now that my vocational discernment [...]
One Week To Go…
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth." But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, `I am only a youth'; for to all to whom I send you you shall go, and whatever I [...]

This time, I think I'll lead with a photo explanation: Nov. 7th: Ordained to the Order of the Diaconate It's been a whirlwind these past couple of months, but it's also been wonderful. That God [...]
Gone Fishin’ Studying: The S.T.B. Exam
Looks like my weekend won't include a few hours out on the lake here, in spite of the fact that it'll finally be warm enough to enjoy a little fishing. My S.T.B (Sacrae Theologiae Baccalaureus) examination looms in one week, and tonight's study session made me realize how very far I have to go in a week. It's managable, but still [...]
