Parent Day Mass + lion tattoo
On Parent (visiting) Day, we had a beautiful Mass with all our families. Our Rector, Fr Michael, had a great homily about the formation of Men here at St John Vianney College Seminary using a story of a wuss getting a tattoo of a lion on his back. You can’t pick and choose areas that are easy to change. If you’re getting a tattoo, you can’t leave off some parts … it needs to be complete in order to claim the real thing. Any real formation requires some level of sacrifice and pain in order for true growth. It’s not just a Catholic idea, either. –powerful

I'm a 30+ year old (recently) former Catholic seminarian discerning the Lord's call for my life. As I blog my discernment, I want to ask WWKD? (what would Kermit do) ... kidding aside ... "What IS the Lord doING?" and "How can I stay more aware of it everyday?" ... our journeys are too fruitful to keep to ourselves ... please share the gifts He graced you with so we can grow together growing the Kingdom, in Jesus name.
