A year ago when I thought of finally entering major seminary
for the first time, I would have never imagined wearing a mask, let alone
practicing social distancing from my friends and peers. These new precautions
are now part of seminary life and have made these first few weeks at Saint Mary’s
Seminary and University difficult, but more fruitful then I would have
imagined. Although this time is challenging and unexpected in every part of our
world, it is in the unexpected that we find God. We see this especially in the
scriptures and if we search close enough we will see this in our everyday
lives. My next step in entering major seminary, a global pandemic, but a common
thread in it all; that God’s call continues to work in my life of discernment,
even if masks and social distancing are required!
