Is God Calling You to Priesthood?
Discerning Your Call from God
The word vocation comes from the Latin vocare which means “to call.” Each and every one of us has a vocation, or “a call” from God, but for some this call is to a consecrated way of life set apart from the world.
God may be calling you to a vocation as a priest or to a religious order. Responding to this call can fill your life with much joy and many blessings but can also be an intimidating decision. In the words of St. John Paul II, “Be not afraid!”
Consider taking these small steps to begin discerning where God is calling you:
- Pray Daily
- Attend Mass regularly and reflect on the Scripture Readings
- Have sincere conversations with friends, family, and mentors
- Participate in your parish community
- Serve in outreach ministries
- Talk to your Pastor or spiritual director
- Explore different consecrated ways of life
- Reach out to the Diocesan Vocations Director
As stated in Matthew 9:37-38:
"The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest."
