    When can one ever have peace of knowing if they are called or not? My life is run by doubts

    • @keithmayhewhammond5357

      When discerning between marriage and the religious life, the answer is somewhat simple. Basically, see if you have a calling to religious life first. This is because religious life is always the higher calling, and so marriage would only need to be discerned if you already knew that you did not have a religious vocation. At least that is how I understand the traditional teaching. Some people think that is offensive, but I think it takes away the complications of being to scrupulous.
      You can visit the places that interest you and speak to their vocations director. If you qualify, then you can set up a time to visit for short periods of time where you stay over night and get a feel for the community. Each place has its own way of doing this. If you feel at peace during your time there, in the sense that it feels like home to you, then you can be confident that God is calling you to that way of life. But to be absolutely sure, someone remains a novice for a certain time before taking permanent vows. In other words, it is all set up for both you and the community to discern, and both have to be in agreement.
      If you try that with the ones you may feel a certain calling to and it doesn't work out, then you can be confident that you probably don't have a vocation. People usually have to be of a sound mind as one of the qualifications. This is because the religious life can draw people with mental illness; but in most cases, it would make mental illness worse, and would not be good for someone in that state. I personally have Asperger's and OCD which keeps me from having a sound mind. So it is most likely that I have no vocation. But I am discerning still just to be sure with a few that I feel drawn towards.
      I hope that helps.

      Courage! It is this: Love the Lord, your God, with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. You will need to be devoted to daily prayer and through it, you can grow in this heroic love with and dependent on God's help, seeking His Will. This will require many prayers, fasts and sacrifices including alms. Read Sacred Scripture humbly and read inspiring works written by the saints (not modern popularities).

    • @keithmayhewhammond5357

      I don't see how that would be possible if we are active in our discernment. If we speak to the vocations directors at communities we may feel drawn to, or if we find out if we are eligible for the priesthood and feel a drawing to it, then the discernment process is to take further action in finding out. Communities allow visitors to stay if discerning. And if we stay a few nights or a week with a community it would become fairly obvious if we were not called, because we would absolutely hate it for example. But if after staying for a short while there is still a drawing of the heart, it should be pursued further. And a novice stays a novice for a while before taking perpetual vows - taking away the fear of being wrong.
      I don't mean any offense by this, but I think that not figuring it out over a life time would just be someone putting off discernment.

      Ultimately, you vocation is to die in a state of grace. That's the bottom line. No matter what happens, where you path leads, how many mistakes you make, how others mislead you, THAT is ultimate vocation: to be a saint. The ONE thing you MUST do is die in a state of grace. Do the best you can to make sure that happens, and the Lord will be there helping you.

      You are not too old brother. I’ve visited many seminaries, and most seminarians don’t begin their priestly studies until their mid 20’s. Most do not start right out of high school. My local parish priest didn’t get ordained as a priest until his mid 40’s. It’s never too late. The only time it’s too late is when you pass on form this earth.

    • @keithmayhewhammond5357
      @keithmayhewhammond5357 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My advice would be to actively speak to the vocations directors of the communities you might be interested in. They would be able to help you discern and know where to go from there. But off hand, I don't think 23 is too old, and in some cases they may prefer someone who is slightly more mature than just out of high school.

      Pray, ask and seek. God will guide your steps. He LOVES the humble heart. Age matters not. My dad began priestly training at 13 in the Vatican. He’s Ukrainian catholic (can get married / have kids). I’ve enjoyed the company of a great number of wonderful priests, nuns, deacons, bishops, etc. Many entered the religious life in adulthood (30s, 40s, even 50s, etc). My prayers are with you on this exciting journey!

      That's quite young. For being a priest here is no age. For religious orders they usually have age limits depending on the order, some 35 others 45.

      For one thing, receiving grants is not the same as employment. Secondly, the holiness or lack of it in one cleric or another has nothing to do with the validity of the sacraments. Read the catechism.

    Not very classy, Steve.
    Being damned because you don't fulfill your vocation is not taught by St. Thomas Aquinas' moral theology in his Summa. This teaching is not in the Catechism. I respect St. Alphonsus but doubt if I took this sin to a trad priest he would say its a mortal sin.
