Both my uncle and brother who are priests have been influential in my life, as well as my mother who always inspired a sense of vocation to me growing up—first ask the Lord what He wants you to be when you’re older.

One of my favorite scripture passages is from the Gospel of Mark where a man asks Jesus to cast out from his son an unclean spirit. Jesus states, “All things are possible to him who believes,” and the father responds, “I believe; help my unbelief” (Mk 9: 23-24).
