Am I Called to the Priesthood?
Even though a man only “knows” he is called when he is ordained,there are many positive signs that can point to a vocation, and here are some of them:
1.A friendship with Jesus is important to me.
2. People tell me that I would make a good priest.
3. A desire to go to Mass and Adoration frequently, even daily.
4. The thought of becoming a priest keeps coming back over and over again.
5. I’m afraid to tell my friends and family that I’ve been thinking about the priesthood.
6. I imagine myself preaching or think about how I would preach the homily differently.
7. I have a burning desire to help people get closer to Christ and to know the Truth.
8. If some of these statements reflect how you feel, then God may be calling you.
