you have only two options. choose to get marry and have own family or choose to serve god. you cannot serve both at the sametime. if you really deeply in love with the lord, then leave your family and your wife, then follow him and serve him. Means give whole time to him alone so you can able to serve him completely.
Very nice explanation by Fr. Cozzens. I am glad Pope Benedict reaffirmed the Celibacy requirement. The priesthood is a vocation, as is marriage. Both have tremendous responsibilities, but of an entirely different type. To be effective in their vocation, a person can only be dedicated to one or the other.
im considering becoming a priest,and this makes me excited to become one,to dedicat ones life for church and for god. and become celibate for the church and for christ.
