Jesus said elsewhere in the gospel that he came not to bring peace, but to cause division. Because if we believe that he is Lord, then we must follow him and live our lives differently. And that upsets our families, our friends, etc. We have to be willing to have some of our relationships fractured. I ask you, Fr. Pat, in your expereince, are there priests who experienced some sort of division in their families when they announced a desire for the priesthood. As much as we look up to priests, we also look forward to grandchildren. Becoming a priest obviously seems to be a sacrifice in some respects, not only for the man, but for his parents. Any insight?
Many of us who went thru RCIA (and therefore came from other religions) went thru a certain degree of division. Is it worth it? Of course it is.
