yes. help him. his is a vocation, a constant, while your passion may wane with tomorrow's moon.
it is a very holy calling, and a divine vocation. many men are called to the priesthood, but only a select few are able to answer it.
i myself, was one who applied to the seminary and was undergoing spiritual encouragement by my parish priest (who is also my friend) at the time. however, with the weakness of my body and knowing myself, i hesitated in finishing all the additional application material to the seminary. i was not qualified , from knowing myself and my own propensity to sin. many of my good friends are now in their major seminary years, one of them, a very good friend named JR, is finishing his last year. He will be ordained next year -- and i will be attending his ordination mass.
I always talk to him, we keep in contact through emails and texting or calling each other. We support each other through our trials and our difficulties. I pray for him throughout his studies and mentally support him (as he really needs it!) as he does for me. He always text messages me from time to time and says things like, "Hi Doctor! Keep it up, and Keep studying!"
Small things like that, which really add up in the long run.
This is why I implore the OP and all the rest that may read this, to consider the vocation of these holy men. The spirit may be strong, but the flesh is weak. So be considerate of them, lang.
