After a period of crisis in my life that led me to abandon the Church I experienced the mercy of God through people who announced to me that Christ loved me as I was. I came back to Church and became part of the Neocatechumenal Way where I heard the calling to the priesthood. After a period of discernment, I was called to a vocational meeting in Italy, where I was invited to join the Redemptoris Mater House of Formation in London, which prepares young men to serve the Church as Diocesan or Missionary priests, ready to be sent wherever the Church is in need. In 2004 I was formally accepted by the Diocese of Westminster as a student. I am a witness to how God has been merciful and faithful to me during these years, and, with his help, I hope to carry on with this journey towards the priesthood.
