Monsignor Rice speaks with the 5 through 8 grade boys about the vocation of the priesthood. Monsignor said that one of the major reasons young men do not become priests is that no one has asked them to consider this vocation.
Three or four out of ten have a vocation, so there are men who would become priests if they listen to Christ's call. Monsignor told the boys the Our Lord speaks through the language of silence, which is sorely lacking in our culture.
"Open yours hearts to what God is asking," said Father Rice. How few of us do!
