Q & A on Discernment
The Call for You
Questions
Does it feel Right?
How can I be sure about my Call?
Church Ministry is not a matter of “I should”, nor is it an
escape or a “security blanket.” Waiting for a call to be perfectly clear can be
an excuse for not acting. Few calls are ever crystal clear. Couples talk about
the mystery of “why this wife for me, why this husband for me, why these
children for us?”
When we make life decisions like marriage, career, and children, few of us are
sure God is calling us to these options. Instead, we pray that we are making a
wise decision and leave the rest up to God.
Try asking yourself the following questions.
"God is always ready to give us Grace from above; yet the Lord demands of us the necessary dispositions"
- Saint Guido M. Conforti [by Antonella del Grosso, xmm]
On your desire and attraction to the priesthood or religious life: Does it give me a certain sense of satisfaction to think of myself as a missionary? As a priest? As a brother?
On your motivations and reasons for the priesthood or religious missionary life: What’s behind my interest and attraction? What are the positive reasons I have to pursue that?
On your fitness to live as a missionary priest or brother: Can I live religious life or priesthood cheerfully and generously, without going into pieces or without a constant drain on my inner resources and energies?
