Episode 19: How God Used Protestants to Call Me to be a Catholic Priest!
Listen as a podcast.
Synopsis:
Fr. Victor first heard his calling to be a Catholic priest at a non-denominational summer camp out in California. The first group of people he shared his sense of call with were non-Catholics. In his college years, God used a couple key Protestant friends to help his calling to resurface and encourage him to respond. As you listen, allow your understanding of what it means to be part of the “Body of Christ” to deepen and expand.
Dig In Further:
Has God ever used someone unexpected in your life to get your attention? To share his word with you? What were the details of that encounter?
Friendship is a powerful tool can use in our lives. Seemingly insurmountable difference of faith and belief can be overcome to reveal unexpected common ground? Have your sense of the common ground we share with non-Catholic brothers and sisters of faith ever been broadened by a friend?
Can the Holy Spirit only work among Catholics? Separately among Methodists? Separately among Baptists? How can we be more open to the movements of the Holy Spirit in our lives? Among the people God places in our paths and the unfolding of circumstances in our daily lives?
