Discernment: Part of
discernment of a vocation to religious life and/or priesthood, but could also
apply to marriage and/or the single life, includes looking at the greatest obstacle you
sense prevents you from pursuing that vocation. In other words of what are you
most afraid when you think about entering a seminary, a religious community of
men or women. What frightens you about seeking a husband and getting married?
And finally, if you feel called to remain single, what frightens you about that
vocation in life. List all of your fears
of any one of the vocations in life.
Then surrender them to the Lord. Also ask the Lord to give you feedback
about those fears.
Also, how realistic are those fears? Talk to someone in each
of those vocations about your fears. What feedback to they give you? Do your fears hold substance? Are they even
true about that vocation in life? What
do you learn by looking at your fears of any of the vocations?
