Update:

My brother and dad have returned home from Medjugorje. I wanted to tell you something wonderful.

First of all, my dad has resolved to go to Mass every Sunday from now on. And he has downloaded an app onto his phone to teach him how to pray the rosary, and wants to pray it every day.

And my brother? He spent the whole trip being of help to others and thinking the call to Medjugorje was really for our dad...that Joseph's purpose there was just to bring our dad along. But very early on they had run into two men, both named Gary, and briefly introduced themselves without really talking about anything personal. They occasionally saw them in passing but never spoke again. On the flight home, my brother went to the bathroom at the airport between flights, and when he walked back, he saw my dad standing there talking with the two Gary's! They all looked at Joseph as he approached, and had a look of wonder on their faces. My Dad said, "You're not gonna believe what Gary just told me!" Apparently later in the day when the Garys and Josephs had first met, the younger Gary was praying to Mary, whom he has always had a special devotion to, even as a kid. All of a sudden, he heard her tell him, "Tell Joseph he is going to be a priest." He had been looking for an opportunity the whole rest of the trip to tell Joseph, but they'd never actually run into each other, and he was feeling super guilty about it. Then they saw my dad at the airport and Gary was able to tell him! He was so surprised and amazed to hear that Joseph is indeed planning to apply to the seminary and had secretly been hoping for some kind of confirmation from Mary. What a lovely gift she gave him!

I told Joseph, too, it is a neat parallel, that on his first trip to Medjugorje as a kid with me, it was on the return journey home that he announced to me out of the blue, "I've decided I'm going to be a priest."

Isn't it wonderful? That with everything going on in the world and the Church, Mary is still being the sweet and encouraging mother that she is... And that there is a future full of hope, where there will be many young priests in love with God and His Church.
