Once in time, with a glistening gleam, did my heart trust.
And to know that trusting the heart is but a foolish facade.
For the heart changes at a whim.
My heart. Your heart. Their heart. His heart. Her heart.

But, there is One Heart that is not fickle and baseless.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.

And I shall entrust to HIM all that I yearn for,
all that I shall want, all that I shall want in Life.

And it is with a prudent, fearless decision,that I will consider a Life in His Service
No longer shall I fear this thought, this constant pull
For it has been a constant force in my mind.

"Be a Priest"
When I wake up.

"Be a Priest"
When I work.

"Be a Priest"
When I talk amongst friends, amongst family, amongst loved ones.

'Be a Priest"
At the moment I lay down to sleep.

For years, have I feared this revelation,
only to put it to the side, thinking that as time passes,
so shall this 'silly' notion subside.

Yet it has not.
Why ?
It has grown all the more loud.
Even as I am in the hospital floor,
on call, post call, admission duties, write ups.

How shall I even consider?
Does it not get in the way of plans?
Yet...this notion has been in my mind even before my 'plans' came about.

So I shall continue to discern.
Continue to pray if this calling is truly the Way.

And I shall Pray.
Every Day.
To Lead me Home.
