Priests, deacons, religious brothers and sisters are very important in our lives. They tell us about God and how God wants us to live forever in His heart. God created us so that we can serve Him. It is our choice if we live the life God wants us to.
Priests are very important because they baptize us and that is like the beginning of trying our best to live a holy life. Also, during reconciliation God gives the priest power to forgive us from our sins and we can start over. Priests also can share their story of why and how they became a priest. They can inspire young men to want to be a priest so they can spread the word of God.
Religious sisters also help us follow God's calling. Some sisters tell us about our faith and why we are on this earth and what God wants us to be, not perfect, but a holy person who can inspire others. Sisters also inspire us to praise God every day.
Religious brothers are not priest, but they still preach the word of God. They teach us to have faith in our religion and to serve God. Deacons also try to guide us to follow God's calling. God sent people like those to show us to Jesus and God. Jesus lived a holy life and God wants us to do that, too.
Priests, deacons, religious brothers and sisters tell us that we should know, love, and serve God. These people guide us to live out our vocation and praise God all our lives. It's our decision to go the right direction in life.

Hannah, You are learning so much about our Catholic faith and clearly growing in your own faith as you go. Thank you for being a good example of Christianity! Mrs. Fleming
