Baseball Player Pursues Call To Priesthood

Amazing story. Grant Desme was on his way to a successful Major League Baseball career but turned it down to pursue the priesthood. I’ve seen the argument that he is throwing away his God-given talent. I don’t buy it. Friends, this is a clear demonstration of the importance of vocation before profession. Fulfill the former and the latter will fall in place. I would not be a bit surprised if Grant finds a way to use his gifts in his ministerial future to help those in need. I know of one priest who did.
