Answering God's Call

"I'm very proud of these men," Father Horn said. "I regard them as younger brothers and as spiritual sons, all at the same time. I am joy-filled to see them go to the altar and be ordained."

When a man is in awe of the overwhelming beauty of the priesthood, he certainly feels his human weakness and inadequacy. But looking to the Lord, he knows the Lord desires to complete his joy, and it is precisely in weakness that the glory of the Lord shines forth."
