"Like the priest, the candidate and the seminarian must ever be aware of his rootedness in and with the People of God- a sense of belonging: God takes us from the midst of his people and sends us back to them."

discernment: Am I Called?
-
Discernment is the process of listening to the voice of God, who calls us to follow Him. In vocational discernment, a person listens to hear God's call to priesthood, consecrated religious life, marriage, or a sacred single life. Ultimately, discernment is about growing in discipleship - in a daily, intentional relationship with Jesus Christ.
A good way to discern is to focus on three areas:- Prayer - growing in daily relationship and conversation with God
- Sacraments - encountering Christ through regular celebration f the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation
- Service of Others - learning to be more and more like God by putting the needs of others before our own
