To learn God's plan for you, be still and pray, Apostolic Administrator tells DCS students
Everybody has a calling in life, everybody has a vocation.
In order to discern what God is calling each of us to do however, it's important that we learn to keep still and pray. Pray for His guidance.
That is a major advice Father Romeo Convocar, the Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Agana had for students of Dominican Catholic School as he paid a visit to their Yigo campus on Friday, Oct. 6, 2023.
Father Romy answered a wide range of questions from the enthusiastic but very respectful students in a thoughtful Q&A session during one part of his scheduled school visit. His response regarding vocations in life came after a student asked him why he chose to become a priest.
Earlier, the Apostolic Administrator triggered applause from the students as he answered another student's question, "What is your dream job?"
"My dream job? I'm doing now, my dream job," Father Romy replied, referring to his vocation as a priest. "My dream job is not just a job. It is a life. It is a vocation."
Father Romy then gave advice to the students about their future careers. "If you're looking for a job in the future, look for a job that you love. Because when you love your job you don't feel like you are working," he said. "You're living your life."
"So if you love to teach, even though it is hard, it is not hard, because you love your job," Father Romy said. Most important of all, our Apostolic Administrator said to look to God for guidance. "First and foremost, you have to listen to the Lord, discern, so you can understand where He is calling you."
Father Romy opened his visit by celebrating Mass with Principal, Sister Esperanza Seguban and the entire school during the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Afterward, the students welcomed him with prayer, a short message, songs and dances in a large assembly room followed by the Q&A session.
