YOUR PLAN Vs GOD'S PLAN
Somethings are beyond planning
And life doesn't always turn out as planned
You don't plan for a broken heart.
You don't plan for a failed business venture...
You don't plan for an adulterous husband
or a wife who want you out of her life.
You don't plan for an autistic child.
You don't plan for spinsterhood.
You don't plan for a lump in your breast.
You plan to be young forever.
You plan to climb the corporate ladder.
You plan to be rich and...

YOU CAN
No one is born as priest. "The pastoral care of vocations needs to involve the entire Christian Community in every area of its life. Obviously, this pastoral work on all levels also includes exploring the matter with families, which are often indifferent or even opposed to the idea of a priestly vocation.
