With all the recent scandals in the priesthood and the declining number of women in consecrated life, why would I want to encourage my child to consider a Church vocation?

Answer

Every vocation in life is marked by struggles and difficulties but also with rich rewards and blessings. One who is truly called to a vocation of service in the Church as a priest or sister will be blessed abundantly for responding generously: “There is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come” (Mark 10: 29-31).
