My Vocation Story: Father Jason Smith, LC

. . .if not for a hockey game, I wouldn’t be a Legionary of Christ priest today.  As a good Minnesotan, I naturally considered hockey as divinely inspired, a sign of God’s love for us.  But it’s what happened after the game that took me by surprise & lead me to know my priestly vocation. . .

Holy Communion by Angelo Graf von Courten (Credit: Crisis Magazine)

A Modest Proposal to End the Vocations Crisis

. . .Communion in the hand is an approved practice, but one which is only juridically “tolerated.”  No matter how antediluvian this may sound, it is the reality.  Moreover, no intelligent Catholic would maintain that Communion in the hand alone caused a decline either in devotion to the Blessed Sacrament or in vocations to the priesthood.  On the other hand, no intelligent Catholic would deny that Communion in the hand holds a principal place in the constellation of factors that have led to these declines. . .

Millenials Don’t Want a Relevant Church, So Stop Embarrassing Us

. . .relevancy appears to be little more than a popularity contest.  The men of my generation—the infamous “millennials”—are going to see what they are going to see.  The Catholic Church should never feel compelled to be popular, relevant, or hip for them or for any other generation.  She has never existed to be cool or culturally germane, & she should really stop trying to pretend she is.  Such efforts are actually embarrassing.  The truth is, millennials need the Church to be even less popular than she is.  “Salt & light” are not always inviting.  They are not about acceptance or relevancy in a relativistic world.  What they are—what they should be—are the requisite characteristics of the Bride of Christ—the One.  Holy.  Catholic.  Apostolic Church. . .

10 Quotes About Hell from the Saints that Just Might Scare You Into Heaven

. . .all of us will eventually die & face judgment before God.  If we die in Christ, we’ll go to heaven (with perhaps a temporary period of cleansing in Purgatory first).  If we die in mortal or Original sin, then we go straight away to hell for all eternity, with no hope for redemption. . .

Use a Model Diocese to Produce an Over Abundance of Priestly Vocations

. . .It seems like the question keeps coming up & yet there seems to be little to no response from our Bishops.  Every year since 1965, the priest to faithful ratio has gotten worse.  There is not much more than hand-wringing going on to solve the problem.  The trend keeps spiraling downwards.  The seminaries of yesteryear are almost all closed, consolidated, or operating at minimal capacities. . .
