Dear brother bishops, dear priests, deacons, consecrated men and women, catechists, pastoral workers, and all of you who are engaged in the field of educating young people: I fervently exhort you to pay close attention to those members of parish communities, associations, and ecclesial movements who sense a call to the priesthood or to a special consecration. It is important for the Church to create the conditions that will permit many young people to say “yes” in generous response to God’s loving call.
