Liturgy of the Hours,
"Anima Christi"

Jean-Marie Vianney

What not to do

5.) Favorite part of being a priest:
Celebrating Mass on the weekends

6.) Advice for young people considering a vocation:
Don't spend too much
time thinking about it. You
will only be able to decide
by making a decision to
enter the seminary or the
convent; you do not have to
be sure about a vocation to
enter the seminary or convent.
The first months or weeks
are your time to discover in
a practical way whether God
is calling you to be a priest
or consecrated religious.
Entering a seminary or convent
is a decision to find
out whether or not God is
calling you.

7.) Something about you that few people would know:
I am half Armenian; I cannot
stand waiting in lines

8.) Favorite temporal things:
Travel, mall shopping, but
not buying anything

9.) Favorite food:
Pizza, soft ice cream. I
know all the soft ice cream
places in the diocese, and
have been to many of them.
