Man for Others –80- Fr Lee Marshall -on Our Lady's birthday -on Medjugorje and his vocation - Totus2us
Father Lee Marshall, from England: "It was the following August (2007) that I took the leap of faith and left my career, my job, put my house on the market and just left it all behind and went to seminary. And I’ve never, ever, once looked back since then. … I've never doubted my vocation because I knew that it came from Our Lady's intercession, I knew that it had always come from that initial prayer which I'd made on that bus to Medjugorje, of asking Our Lady to help me to open my heart to the Lord. And I knew that that was the way that she answered that prayer - by helping me see that God created me to be far more than I was. He created me not to be an accountant, He created me to be a priest of Jesus Christ and I am so grateful to her for showing me that path, for showing me the Lord. So I never doubted in all that time in seminary that I had a vocation, and then I was ordained in the Cathedral in Sheffield in 2013 and it was the happiest day of my life. It was truly the most beautiful anointing and the greatest gift that God could ever give me was the gift of the priesthood. It's a pure gift. It's just incredible to be a priest and this last year has been truly blessed. Just the doors that the Lord has opened, the people that He has put in my path, the healing that He has worked through my hands, the preaching, the beautiful Masses I've been so blessed to celebrate, especially here with Youth 2000 at Walsingham. .. So the Lord has done amazing things in this last year and I'm just so excited as to what the future will be. What He will do in my life and what He will do in the Church. It's a great time now to be a Catholic in this country, it's such an exciting time. The shoots of renewal, the shoots of what the Lord is doing is so fresh and there's something amazing growing, something amazing beginning and it's such a blessing to be part of it."
