I turned on the song and sang along with these lyrics. It makes the song a lot more fun, I think.

I did take this into account, yes. But that doesn't stop me from singing your version of the song. ;)

This reminds me a lot of this song (think Sound of Music, Maria singing about her favorite things) :hehe:

[i]Dalmatics on deacons and cassocks on priests,
habits on nuns and immovable feasts,
bishops in soutanes with big, gaudy rings -
these are a few of my favorite things.[/i]

[i]Devotions to Mary, novenas and stations,
fasting and penance on Days of Rogation,
High Mass and Low Mass and papal blessings –
these are a few of my favorite things.[/i]

[i]Rosaries and incense and fiddleback vestments,
BINGO on Mondays with homemade refreshments,
statues of angels with halos and wings –
these are a few of my favorite things.[/i]

[i]When RENEW strikes!
When the rail’s gone!
When I’m feeling sad,
I simply pop into a Solemn High Mass
and then I don’t feel so baaaaaad![/i]

I realize I have probably posted on here too much, but this is semi-important. I don't know why, but some of the lyrics really speak to me, namely the chorus:

Did I just hear that?
No, this is crazy!
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

It's hard to think straight,
It’s all so hazy,
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

I have never had a song speak to me before, but those lyrics specifically do.

I'm making up my own male vocations version. I won't give too much away, but it does involve amesome facial hair. ;)

What I think is funny is that even the repetitiveness of the original song translates well into the discernment version, cuz we really do run the same things in our head over and over AND OVER again, a million times, when discerning, right?

Nice job!

Tru-biz!!! I'm pretty sure I've run the same two situations over and over in my head at least a million times in the past week.
