3-Year-Old Samuel Jaramillo "Celebrates" Mass and Wants to Be a Priest

A three-year-old Colombian boy has garnered attention across the internet for a video in which he dons priestly garments and “celebrates” Mass, reciting the liturgy from memory...
 
His relatives told reporters that last Christmas, Jaramillo did not ask for toys like most kids his age. Instead, he wanted “priest’s clothes” and the objects necessary to “celebrate” Mass.
 
He has learned to recite the Mass from memory with the corresponding pauses, intonations and gestures of an experienced priest...
 
In an interview with RCN television, Jaramillo said he wants to be a priest when he grows up.

Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, Eternal High Priest, Mother of all priests and our Mother, help us respond generously to to the Holy Spirit's request, through the voice of His Church, to offer up to God Eucharistic adoration for priests.  Amen.

Wow,this is truly inspiring. I would presume that his parents are faithful Catholics and the priests in their parish church inspires him a lot. I hope that many young men will see this and themselves be inspired to respond to God's call and become a zealous, holy priest someday. The Holy Eucharist is the Source of priestly vocations and nourishes it as well.
