Thoughts on Priesthood:

I think that priesthood is a difficult vocation and involves a lot of sacrifice , but it is one of the best ways to serve people and to be always close to God while doing the job he gave to everyone (spreading the Gospel on earth).

Why I want to be a Priest:

I would like to become a priest because I think that God is calling me to be one. I really like what priests do. Besides, as I said before, this is a vocation where I can always be close to God by administering the sacaraments and serving his people just as Jesus did when he came to earth and was with the people of Israel.

Hobbies & Interests:

I like playing soccer, basketball, swimming, playing the guitar and singing. I like watching funny movies and martial arts movies too. I lift weights and like working out, I also like running up to the mountains when I go home.

Influence:

A major influence for me has been always been the precence of holy priests in my home parish, but even more inspiring was my reading of the lives of the Saints. I wanted to be like them and I thought that there was no better way to be become a saint and be like them than doing what Jesus did (taking people closer to God) by getting ordained and serving as a priest in a parish.
