There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family. Marriage is holy, while homosexual acts go against the natural moral law. Homosexual acts “close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved”.
Our vocation is not to go and reap in the Father's fields

"Our vocation is not to go and reap in the Father's fields: Jesus does
not say to us: " Cast down your eyes and reap the harvest"; our mission
is still more sublime. Here are the words of the Divine Master: "Lift up
your eyes and see..." see that in Heaven there are empty places; yours
it is to fill them...you are as Moses praying on the mountain; ask of Me
laborers and I will send them; I await but a prayer, a sigh from out
your heart!"

"Every priest knows that Mary, as Mother, is also the most distinguished
modeler of his priesthood, since it is she who moulds the priestly
soul, protects it from dangers, from routine and discouragement, and
maternally safeguards it, so he may grow in wisdom, age and grace,
before God and men."
-- Congregation for the Clergy (Directory on the Ministry and Life of Priests)
O Priest!

" You are not of yourself because you are of God. You are not
of yourself because you are the servant and minister of Christ. You are
not your own because you are the spouse of the Church. You are not of
yourself because you are the mediator between God and man. You are not
from yourself because you are nothing. What then are you? Nothing and
everything. O Priest! Take care lest what was said to Christ on the
cross be said to you: "He saved others, himself he cannot save!"
-- St. Norbert
