Why do you want to become a priest? Because God is good.
Who is your favorite saint & why? St. Mary Magdalene - she shows up in the most important mysteries of Christ's life with both great sorrow and great joy.
What is your favorite quote? “Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.” ― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Any advice for someone discerning the priesthood or religious life? Have a healthy dose of both romance and reality; know yourself and your motivations. T.S.
