The first Christmas we’d spent as a couple, he confessed to me he didn’t want to go on with his Theology Major. That night in bed, I played in my head over and over what he’d said to me.
“Gracie, I love you so much…I can’t transfer…”
I knew what he was about to say so I interrupted him, “What about the priesthood?”
“I can still do our Lord’s work and be with you…”
“I know, but what about His love?”
“I love God above all, that won’t change…I’m just adding you to the equation,” he smiled. Those were the most sacred words he’s ever said to me.
As a mathematician, I know numbers have accurate results. But what about Jacob? As a believer, did he get a divine message? Did he have a covenant with his God? I hear the toll of the bells now. They are calling Jacob to his new life. I wonder if God is calling me through them, too. I never lost faith that Jacob would be my perfect number. Well, somebody’s gotta have faith!
“I hope you are ready for this,” Father Michael says.
I take a deep breath and say, “I am!”
