For personal reasons i dont think marriage is an option, so as a young man am considering several options like serving as a priest although i would still be a lecturer. Please i would like to know your thoughts on becoming a priest.

Please note that this is not made up so please contribute positively and i will listen with an open mind
i refused to post this in the religious section because i know it will just be turned into a sermon or a religious debate between catholics and pentecoastals
lastly you are free to speak as you like besides you dont know me personaly

Weigh your decision left ad right before making the final choice

But its now in the religion section.

To your question, I personally have deep respect for priests but I believe you don't just wake up and jump into priesthood. You have to ask yourself some salient questions like
Why do you want to choose priesthood over other vocations
Have you made up your mind to live a celibate life?
Are you willing to sacrifice your time and energy for the benefit of those who will look up to you as a priest?
Are you willing to live a prayerful life interceeding for all and sundry?
Above all have you seek the face of God and discovered his will concerning the issue? Etc

If your answers to the above are positive, then you should go ahead, but on each step, rely on God for your success.

You just need to have solid reasons why you want to become a priest. But being a lecturer as well as a priest might not be the best o

What type of input are you looking for?

Should nlers be the ones helping you make decisions?

On what basis?

You are supposed to discuss such things not with the www but with people who actually know you and who your decision will affect directly.

Not to mention you are probably not the one being discussed here.

In addition, there are probably other sites which might be more useful and specifically tailored for such enquiries.


Seems to me you just want to start another round of religious bashing.

Why bringing up such issue here. go and discuss ds wt a priest in any catholic church. If u know u are nt capable, u better nt spoil d goodwill of d church. 1st tn is that, b4 even becoming a priest u must decide by urself what u really wnt.

i just tire for you, i no fit even defend myself, abeg next, its because of all there judging and over sabi attitude that made me post this in the romance section, instead of religion before a MOD moved it. For those saying am faking it, i really dont need to convince you, lastly i have already met a reliable person who knows me and we have come to the conclusion that it is a nice move, but since its a big issue, i just wanted to know the opinion of most persons through this site, were most of our identities are hidden.
