What if I feel unworthy of the priesthood?
Feeling unworthy of God’s call to the priesthood? You’re not alone — and that feeling might actually be a good sign.
At the National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors, we asked several priests: “What do you tell a man who feels unworthy of the call to the priesthood?”
Their answer: none of us are worthy — and that’s the point.
Jesus calls the imperfect, the broken, the ones with a past — not because we deserve it, but because He loves us and has a mission for us.
