Catholic Kermit

Upon getting back to seminary from Christmas break, the big surprise to most was one of our brother seminarians leaving formation over the break.  “E” was a Pre-Theology Miami brother (like me) who moved onto another chapter in his life who I already miss (as the house does as well).  Being in seminary does mean you’ll become a priest.  It’s a place of “discernment” toward the priesthood.  It’s something I remind friends and family.  Moments like these remind me, as well.

I’ll keep him in my prayers and try to keep in touch.

— I hope I never get used to brothers “leaving.”  It hurts, but even that’s a blessing.
