I have just watched 'Fishers of Men' and I would say hold on for a ride when I write this final part.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The man who was created by God to have rule over all things created by God on earth. We will talk about the man in many different vocations.
First: Man: Man has been the provider for the family and been the protector and the Christ in the domestic church; the home. He is to teach the children; both girls and boys; but mostly the boys; the manly way; the True Man way on how to love, how to act in general, how to pray and how to be humble.
--------------------------------------------------
Now let us go and talk on the Priesthood:
--------------------------------------------------
The Priesthood is not for the weak man but the strong. The man must be ready to baptize, marry and prepare someone for death in a single day.
The man who has a call to the Priesthood better be ready to give their entire life for Jesus and be ready to give up our life for the Master.
The Priesthood is not a natural calling but a super natural calling; and the man entering better be ready to follow Jesus all the way to the tomb.
You; the man; are the alter Christus; another Christ and the people must see Christ in you. The first vocation a man must be open to is the priesthood.
------------------------------------------
Now another vocation is marriage:
Marriage is between a man and woman.
-----------------------------------------------
The man in marriage must be totally in love with God; if he is; you will have a little understanding what the Church goes through with Christ as Her Husband: Total Faithfulness or the motto of the Marine Corp: Always Faithful.
But if the man isn't totally in love with God; well he won't be totally faithful but he will try.
Ladies train them up in the faith and with the help of God; he will be always faithful.
The man in marriage must love God first; strong love in the Scriptures, Prayer, Mass and the Sacraments.
The second his wife and kids and third; his job or whatever else there is.
--------------------------------------------------
Third type of vocation: Remaining Single
-------------------------------------------------
Either as layity or in a religious life.
All three types must have one thing in common: A zealous love for God and His Church.
If the man is called to live this life style and vocation; they are to live the fullness of the faith and live a chaste life. They like priests; give their life to God to be a teaching example with their life for others to see and to learn what it means to be a Catholic and how to live the faith.
Finally, the man who has the call for the Priesthood must also love Mary and give your life for her; as her Son Jesus did.
God bless and Amen.
