Why didn’t my friends do this six months ago?

March 10th, 2008 by timn

Well I figured that being in discernment would mean that I’m off limits to girls. What a nice idea. Unfortunately some of the girls that I go to school with that don’t really understand the Catholic Church (Ignorant prots). They are convinced that the last girl I dated turned me “Priest” as if it were like she had turned me gay. So now they are trying to redeem themselves as the female race by finding me a new girlfriend. I keep telling them I am off limits; don’t waste their time. It’s not fair to me and its not fair to any girl that would think I am interested in her. When I told them that they were tempting me, they said, “so you do think that she is pretty?” Well lets look at the facts: I am a guy, I’m 19, I like girls. Of course she is pretty, you’re tempting me! They just don’t understand that I’m pretty much taken. No I’m not taken by a girl, but at least as of now, my life belongs to Christ and His Church. So to all of the people that want to find me a girlfriend, you’re about six months late.

    As a member of the female sex, allow me to apologize. The sad thing is, you’re probably going to have to deal with this kind of stuff for the rest of your life (and not just while you’re in discernment and seminary.) I’m a sacristan, and I’ve seen the way some girls act around young devout men.

    Pray for them, because the reason they don’t get it is because they don’t understand how a man could give of himself wholly to another…the “other” here being Christ and His church. They don’t understand true love. It’s quite sad really.

    I’ll keep you in my thoughts as I pray for the vocations of other seminarians I know.

    Pax Christi, Rebecca.
