The Call, All Work
An important aspect of seminary formation is the spiritual. In being formed to be a person of prayer, we must know and live out a life of prayer. With all our other activities and work that call out for attention, we must also take time out to be in the quiet and allow God to speak to us.
There are our daily masses, Morning and Evening Prayers, meditation, Holy Hour and quiet time. They all help us to connect with the sacred and instill in us our need for an ongoing loving relationship with God in our lives and to share that with all whom we come in contact with.
Catechism as we know, scratches the tip of the iceberg as it only teaches the basics and the rest is up to us. Studies in the seminary goes deeper to the core of the faith as they help us to continue our journey through 2000 years of Church history, teachings and tradition that evolved and developed even after Jesus Christ left this earth.
The mind simply boggles at the amount of information and treasures that the Church possesses for her faithful.
With the amount of intellectual studies and work put in, the seminarian should be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills in imparting and teaching the faith to the faithful as a priest later.
