1.) Visit a Seminary or Convent. From my experience as a vocation director, many discerners gain greater clarity once they step into a seminary or convent. Experiencing these places firsthand often helps dispel misconceptions and ease hesitations.
2.) Seek a Spiritual Director. Prayer is essential, but sharing the fruits of prayer with a spiritual director is a time-tested practice. A director can help you articulate your thoughts and guide your discernment with wisdom and perspective.
3.) Connect with Your Vocation Director. Discernment isn’t meant to happen in isolation. While many prefer to reflect privately, a vocation director can open doors to resources and opportunities that would otherwise remain out of reach.
