What influenced your decision to pursue a vocation? My family, my youth group and Mary, because she plays a role in our lives as our mother and queen. Also Mother Teresa because of her spirit of service and self-giving, which I wish to imitate and pursue.

What is your favorite scripture passage? Like 1:26-38, the Annunciation of the Angel to Mary.

What devotion do you find helpful for discernment? The most important devotion is the Eucharist. Daily contact with Him is essential for my life as a religious and future priest.

What advice do you have for someone considering a vocation? Simply spend time with Christ in the Eucharist and let Him guide you in life. Also find a spiritual director- it is essential to have a guide or support in your spiritual life.

Anything else to share? I would like to ask in a special way for you to pray for me and the souls entrusted to my care
