" Every priest, every consecrated person, faithful to his or her vocation, radiates the joy of serving Christ and draws all Christians to respond to the universal call to holiness. Consequently, in order to foster vocations to the ministerial priesthood and the consecrated life, and to be more effective in promoting the discernment of vocations, we cannot do without THE EXAMPLE OF THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY SAID " YES " TO GOD AND TO HIS PLAN for the life of each individual. PERSONAL WITNESS, IN THE FORM OF CONCRETE EXISTENTIAL CHOICES, WILL ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE FOR THEIR PART TO MAKE DEMANDING DECISIONS AFFECTING THEIR FUTURE".
