Father Robbie D'Lima, a priest from Pakistan, gives his vocation story: "I was finishing school in 1995 and it was a time when I was searching for a deeper meaning in life. Like any young person, you start to wander what's more in life, is there something more than just living? I just kept wondering about this and at that time one of my religion teachers kept telling us that 'you know, God has a plan in your life. He made you not just to eat, drink, make merry and die.' But then he also told us 'Only God can tell you what this plan is. No priest, no sister, nobody else can give you the answer.' Well, I was looking for something deeper at that point in life and I decided to actually do what he said. I would go on my balcony, the 4th floor of an 11 storey building, and just look up to the sky and say 'Lord, what do you want to do with me? Do you have a plan for me?' And, to be honest, I don't think I ever wanted an answer, I don't think I expected an answer, but the frightening thing was that within about two weeks time something started to happen, answers were coming. It's hard to describe what was happening; there was something happening in me, something was going on." Music by Mike Mangione.
