Does it seem like some scripture passages or sermons are directed at you – about the priesthood, or the call of the disciples, or service. Passages that seem to stand out for you and have a kind of clarity; as if a light comes on; or it warms your heart; or it feels as if someone is pointing at you.
Maybe you find that you want to pray more and deepen your faith. Your love for Christ is growing, as it the love for the Church. More and more you desire to give your life to God and to serve others.
Perhaps you are not interested at all. Becoming a priest is not something you would ever do, but the will of God is strong and there is a nagging feeling deep inside. It comes out of nowhere, uninvited; an idea you can’t get out of your mind. You keep fighting and resisting but there is a part of you that knows this is what you are meant to be.
