Are you being called to be a priest?  Or, perhaps to a religious order?  Or, maybe even to become Catholic?

Take this season of Lent, between now and Easter, to discern what God may be calling you to.  Each day take some time — maybe even as little as 5 minutes — to ask God about what He is calling you to.

And, then take at least 5 minutes to just listen.

Try to clear out all distractions.  Go somewhere where you can have some time to pray.

Were you perhaps contemplating a call to the priesthood or the religious life or to become Catholic, but weren’t sure whether you were truly being called?  Maybe take the fact that you’re reading this post as a sign, and pray more seriously about it.
