About this ebook
Metanoia: A Catholic Book Series, Book Number Three: Vocation: Common Priest by Baptism is the author’s third publication in this series of Catholic books. In Vocation: Common Priest by Baptism, the author sets forth his personal experience in discerning whether Jesus Christ is calling him to share or participate in The Eternal Priesthood of Christ, as a common priest by Baptism or as a ministerial priest by Holy Orders. In answering this question, the author recounts 25 years of priestly misidentifications and associations made by strangers, parishioners, family, friends, and neighbors, connecting the 50+ priest-comments with the spiritual gifts and call of a Catholic priest. Despite his sacerdotal gifts and interior call, he explains why he will remain a layman, serving Jesus Christ and His Church as a holy, knowledgeable, and charitable common priest by Baptism. By publishing his vocation story, the author hopes to inspire other men in discernment with their own sacerdotal gifts and interior call from Christ to become ministerial priests, especially in light of the crisis of vocations in the U.S. Church. Finally, this book is part of the author’s personal response to and promotion of the Church’s “universal call to holiness” (Lumen Gentium) and the “new evangelization” (Novo Millenio Ineunte), in the electronically and globally connected virtual world of the Internet.
