If you are thinking about a vocation to consecrated life &/or the priesthood, I always recommend the following as a minimum to start discerning well.
1. 30 minutes of daily prayer (daily Mass can count for 15, but you still need private daily prayer).
2. Regular service / volunteering in some form (local parish, St. Vincent De Paul, youth ministry, etc.).
3. Find a spiritual director you talk to every few months.
3a. Be open with your spiritual director &, with his or her help, resolve any serious habitual sin like pornography & masturbation.
4. Look at the community(ies) or diocese that interests you & get in touch with the vocation director.
4a. Visit the community or weekend long events sponsored by the diocese / community for discerners.
These are the minimum: some will pray more, some will have monthly spiritual direction, etc.
Todo el mundo después de presentarme dice “él es físico/científico”.
Que no es mentira, pero no veo a nadie más hablando de las profesiones de sus amigos. 😂😂
Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker—patron of all who labor. May he teach us to work with humility, diligence, and love for God. 🛠️
St. Joseph, pray for us!
