Ordination would enable me to minister with the sacraments of Communion and Absolution, and help young people feel God's love and blessing. Young people desperately need to feel God's Grace, love, forgiveness, sense of community, and blessing. Many young people are angry and hurt, feeling used and abused and forced to live into someone else's expectations. See my webpage Reflections on Anger and Forgiveness to read more about this. They need to experience healing of their heart and spirit.
Many young people feel lonely and isolated in the world.
This is a kind of loneliness where a person may log into the internet 10 times a day to check mail or to browse chat rooms, but who doesn't get enough mail or chat enough to fill a deep void rotting their gut. Christ Jesus through the sacraments of Communion and Absolution can fill the void with peace, love, and new life. As I dusted myself off from the events of the summer of 1999, I reminded myself that many Christians throughout history have faced rejection, and continue on somehow in ministry with God's grace. My prayer now and has been that I serve God in whatever ministry He needs me in at the moment. If Ordination remains God's will, it will happen in some Diocese, somewhere, sometime.
