...for that matter, Minister's life is luxurious, so also most politicians, PSIs, PIs etc etc People after luxury or fast money would prefer one of the above professions and not the priesthood.
Priesthood is different, it is a committment to serve God for life. It also like a marriage sacrament. The different between the two is, the later get married to a woman and the former get married to God and both cases they take a vow before the altar. When the husband or the wife goes beyond the limits of their wedlock, it becomes an affair and very often, a public affair. I guess, same principle applies to all sort of marriages. My post was not to discourage anyone but to help fixing up the widening gap where ever possible. This has become almost talk of the town mostly amongst the youth. Don't know what will happen after 10-20 years. As we have SAVE OUR GOA plan, perhaps, one day, we might need 'Save our Church' plan. A stitch in time saves nine. Sometimes, I fail to understand as to why it is OK to talk about everything and everyone whilst in the market/Tintto, pub or bolcao and even on newspapers except when it comes to the net. A reguest: Next time, when you see such 'subject' topics/posts, don't get tempted to open and read it, just delete it. No offence to any one. --- Anthony M Barreto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear JoeGoa de UK > > If the life of a priest is so much of a luxury that > you picture in you post, you should certainly > encourage your son, if you have one, to be a priest. > There is a shortage of priests.
