When I was a boy, all I wanted to be was a priest. 

"Be My priest" have been words my heart heard from above which have penetrated my heart and have permeated my soul...

When I lived in a monastery for seven and a half months after high school and after I attempted to discern ecclesiastical priesthood with an archdiocese, I was forced to back away due to the abuses, misconduct, lack of support, and the outright rejection of the Love which Christ's presence is...

It caused me much anguish to lose my dream, but in that losing I was found!

For us whose hearts hear "be My priest", it is the same revelation given to Jesus at His baptism when the heavens opened and God pronounced: "This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased!" 

Through the realization that we are the children of our source of Love, we uncover our priesthood–our Christ nature–which has been forgotten. 

And what is our Christ nature? 

It is this: 

You are an emanation of Light, the offspring of the most pure Love!
