Am I holy enough to be a priest?

If God only called perfect people to priesthood and religious life, no one could legitimately respond.

God the Father calls us all to "grow in holiness" and Jesus himself said we are to grow to be "perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect". We aim high and do our very best. That is all that God asks of us.

If God is calling you and this call gives you inner joy ... your holiness, though incomplete at this point in life is on the right path!
