The seminarian experiences the beauty of that call in a moment of grace which could be defined as “falling in love.” His soul is filled with amazement, which makes him ask in prayer: “Lord, why me?” But love knows no “why;” it is a free gift to which one responds with the gift of self.
--Pope Benedict VI in a meeting with seminarians for the Twentieth World Youth Day, 19 August 2005
