Potential Vocation, Diocesan Priesthood

[Fidei Defensor]

I've been contemplating it a while, but it has come to the forefront recently when I was told by a priest, whom I had just met, that "I can just tell that you have a vocation to the priesthood."  I've been speaking with him about it and am about to begin the process of working with the Diocese's vocation director.

 

Please pray for me, and be assured of my prayers for you in return!

That is exciting. Sometimes it is through others that we get a huge shove in the right direction!

For sure i will pray for you.We need priest more then ever.I also discerning and just give your self time on the process of founding your Vocation.

[Credo in Deum]

I will pray for you on your journey.  Some books I have found helpful in my discernment have been:

 

"The Priest is Not His Own" By Archbishop Fulton J Sheen

 

"The Priest: The Man of God:" By St. Joseph Cafasso

 

"The Priest, His Dignity, and Obligations" by St. John Eudes

 

"Humility of Heart" by Fr. Cajetan Mary da Bergamo

 

"The Cure D'Ars" by Abbe Francis Trochu

May the Lord guide your journey!  If you have any questions about seminary life, etc., I'd be more than happy to answer!  The life of a parish priest is the front lines in the battle of saving souls.

It's going to be funny when your title changes from Cordial Non-Catholic to religious. Have you done your bachelor's degree already?

Actually, for priests, the tag is "Catholic Clergy."  ;)
