I am sometimes asked if I miss my old work as a Protestant pastor. I don't have to think about the answer.
No!
I still get to teach the faith, minister to the needs of children, visit retirement homes, eat cookies, have fun, and wave my hands in the air. All this without committee meetings!
"No one is master in the Church but all are called, all are sent out, all are reached and guided by divine grace. And this is also our security! Only by listening anew to the word of Jesus who asks, “come, follow me”, only by returning to our original vocation, is it possible to understand our own presence and mission in the Church as authentic disciples."
Pope Benedict XVI
