Coche - Spanish word for car

Years ago when I was a little boy, my father keep on prodding me to become a priest. He always tell me that when I become a priest I would have a car just like our parish priest who drives a Volkswagen Beetle. When our parish priest passes by with his Volkswagen I keep looking at the car which is very shiny & the priest looks very happy. I was thinking then that priesthood seems to be a good profession thinking that you'll have a car, you'll have your friends which looks after you, a church, followers & you'll feel happy. 

As years pass by and I become a dentist & family man, and realized that becoming a priest is more than owning a car. Its a total commitment in serving God. My youngest son is in Our Lady of Guadalupe Minor Seminary right now, he will be graduating High School this coming march 2009 in preparation for the Major seminary and later on hopefully to become a priest.
