Fr Joe is a very holy man and a man of Christ. If you are a young man, do as I didn't , and consider the life of a priest. You can do so much good in others lives.
You said it so right, finding the Lord again and falling in love with him, the joy, the feeling of being one with God, it's not just an idea, the transformation of being one with God, feeling his goodness, it's such a big change and joy when this happens, by the grace of God I have found him again but this time in total fulfillment. Our God is a Great and loving God. And praise God for our Priests who lead the flock to the Mighty one in Heaven.
I am autistic, and at 25 in 2009 thought of the priesthood because of rejection. He who cannot marry will never be rejected. After the bishop interviewed me, he decided I was not called. God bless.
