Vocation Shortage

The 4th Sunday of Easter is designated as 'good shepherd' Sunday so we naturally home in on vocations to the priestly ministry and consecrated life.  Today, in the Western world, there is a shortage of vocations. Not so in other parts of the world. When I was in Poland recently, the seminary near where we were staying was full. It is mainly in the Western World where the situation is worrying.
