Pope John Paul the Great's Twelve Key Points for Seminarians

1. You are called by Christ as the apostles were. You are appointed like them to be with Christ

2. You are sent as the apostles were to go out in His name, and by His authority, to “make disciples of all nations.”

3. Your first duty is to be with Christ.

4. You must make time to be with the Lord in prayer.

5. “You are preparing for the total giving of yourselves to Christ and to the service of His kingdom”.

6. You bring to Christ the gift of your youthful enthusiasm and vitality.

7. In you Christ is eternally youthful.

8. Through you Christ gives youth to the Church.

9. Do not disappoint Christ.

10. Do not disappoint the people who are waiting for you to bring Christ to them.

11. Do not fail your generation of young people.

12. Bring Christ to the young people of your generation as the only answer to their longings.

Seminarians are “a gift from God for which we, the community, must show appreciation and gratitude."
