After three divorces, man reconsiders a call to the priesthood
A 43-year-old man who’s been divorced three times says a priest’s homily and a recent split have him reconsidering a missed call to the Catholic priesthood.
DEAR ABBY: I’m 43, and I have been married and divorced three times. I have three adult children and a 13-year-old. My last divorce was final a few weeks ago. I was sure she was The One. Now she wants to give us nine months and see if we are going to reconcile.
I am confused. Years ago, before I married the first time, I thought I was called to be a Catholic priest, but I didn’t listen. A couple of months ago, a good friend who is a priest gave a homily: “Have we ignored God’s call for us in our lives?” I feel I have done just that.
