This idea of a “call” in our lives is often spoken about amongst those with a priestly or religious vocation. While some people might, as if in a magical moment, feel a deep sense of “call” that is pulling them towards priesthood or religious life, this is quite rare. For the most part, a “call” from God is much subtler than this.

A “call” often starts as a subtle feeling or a seed in the back of your mind that doesn’t quite want to leave, no matter how much you try to push it away. It’s sometimes more obvious, sometimes less so. However, if you’re here with questions in your heart, then you’re on the right path. Allow yourself to be led by the questions that are in your heart, for it is those questions that are the guide to understanding God’s call in our lives.

Prayer and proper guidance are the two keys to further understanding this call. Spiritual direction is very helpful during this process.
