Tips from Vocations Directors - Be Thorough in Your Discernment

Be Thorough in Your Discernment

  • Fr. Michael Carraway

    Diocese of Lake Charles, Vocation Director

  1. Adoration
    1. Frequently spend time with Christ, the one who asks men to follow Him.
  2. “Father, your will be done, not mine.”
    1. Allow this prayer to become a theme in your prayer.
  3. Make a Marian Consecration
    1. Mary is the mother of priestly vocations and intercedes for her sons along the path of discernment.
  4. Read a book on the priesthood.
    1. To Save a Thousand Souls is a good book to start reading if you have questions about discernment.
