If
you think you are ready to enter into the discernment
process, the following steps will be helpful:
Prayer -- Develop
a deep union with God through prayer. The rosary,
daily Mass, frequent Eucharistic adoration and
scripture reading are great means for discovering
God's will for you.
Spiritual Direction
-- Regular and honest discussion of your life
with a priest will enable you to understand where
God is leading you. Confide in a trusted priest
about your deepest questions and concerns.
Gathering Information
-- Seek out happy priests and seminarians. Ask
them for their stories and experiences.
