Catholic Youth & Vocations, Parts 2 & 3

During Thanksgiving break, I had an opportunity to talk with Joseph Chait, seminarian for the Diocese of Knoxville, about young Catholics and discerning one's vocation.  So far, Blogger refuses to upload Part 1 of the talk - will keep working on it.

Joseph gives some important advice: we all have a vocation to holiness, regardless of our particular calling.  Holiness is not just a special gift given to people like Mother Teresa or Pope John Paul II; it is something that every baptized & confirmed Catholic should long for, fight for, & manifest in word & deed through their love for Jesus, his Church, & therefore for all mankind.  Perhaps this focus is what we've been missing over the past several decades.

Seriously, "become a saint!"
