“The harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Pray to the Lord that he will send out laborers into his harvest.” The Gospel passage already referred to the enormous spiritual work and the scarcity of vocations, and this is how we remember it when the day of the Seminar arrives.
Even though the delirious crowd seems to follow its inertia, the call to the priesthood arises and beats strongly in the brotherhoods. The last examples occur in the brotherhoods of the Fifth Angustia and the Sentence.
In the middle of summer, on July 7, during the mass for the thirteenth anniversary of the founding of Quinta Angustia, Luis Salamanca Bazanthen priest of María Santísima de la Quinta Angustia, participated in his last act as a member of the board of directors due to his imminent entry into the Seminary of San Pelagio de Córdoba in September.

“It’s a immense joy “What we feel within our brotherhood, from where this vocation was born in Luis, to whom we wish the best on this path”, is the reaction of his brotherhood.
This is the “first vocation has emerged within this society, in just thirteen years of existence. He has been a very relevant person since the foundation, he has been a member of the boards of directors, and it is a great joy to know that vocations are emerging in the world of fraternity.
A law graduate, Luis Salamanca Bazán “reaches maturity and qualities to take on this new stage,” as Rafael Jaén, the older brother, describes to ABC.

On the other hand, Ruben Granado Diazwho held the position of first secretary of the brotherhood of the Sentence and was part of the boards of directors in recent terms, will also enter the Major Seminary of San Pelagio de Córdoba.
“From today, we ask for your prayers for this new brother who begins a long training course at the seminary. We thank God that our brotherhood continues to be a breeding ground for vocations,” the brotherhood prays to its members.

The Sentence has also seen, in recent times, the priestly ordination of his brother Javier Gonzalez Martinezwho celebrated his first Mass in the parish of San Nicolás on July 5. On this occasion, for the first time in the history of the brotherhood, Our Lady of Joy presided over the high altar of the parish.
Looking back, there are many priests who profess a strong devotion by the images of Holy Week and are brothers of their corporations.
This is the case of Model Jose Luis Moreno, brother of Jesus Nazareno since childhood and member at the time of the government councils and current councilor, as well as parish vicar of San Andrés.
Also Miguel Varonabrother of the Good Death, and Francisco Javier Cañete, current councilor of Las Angustias, brother of this brotherhood since childhood. He wore the Nazarene tunic of the brotherhood of deans and was the bearer of the Christ of Mercy.
The Deacon Jose Carlos Sillero In the brotherhood of the Virgen de las Angustias, he held positions on the board of directors. After a long preparation, he returned to Córdoba, assigned to the convent of San José (San Cayetano) and the Virgen del Carmen school. Likewise, she is closely linked to the archconfraternity of Carmen de San Cayetano.
