Who Influenced/Inspired you to Priesthood: The priests who have influenced me most were the ones who I got to know well, my pastors; each of which is a dispenser of God's joy. Fr George Kloster at St William's (Murphy, NC), Fr Alex Gonzalez at NC State, and Msgr. John Williams at St Joseph's (Raleigh).
What would you say to a young man who thinks he may have a vocation: Pray faithfully, knowing that God wants you to follow His plan for you, a plan which is just for you. Spend time in counsel with wise people, especially priests. Definitely try to get a spiritual director. And as Fr. Ned advised me, see where the Lord seems to be leading you, because you won't necessarily hear God speak to you in a booming voice with explicit instructions :) Favorite Scripture Passage: John 3:30 "He must increase; I must decrease" A very simple instruction to give God control of our lives.
Favorite Saint: St. Philip Neri, as he was humble, joyful, active, penitent, prayerful, funny, and was uniquely responsive to everybody who came to him, whether they sought his help or meant him harm.
