Discerning your vocation is a journey of faith and listening. Here are some practical steps to begin:

1. Pray Daily: Set aside time each day to speak with God. Ask for clarity and the courage to follow wherever He leads.
2. Be Still: Silence helps us hear God’s voice. Take moments of quiet to reflect and listen.
3. Receive the Sacraments: The Eucharist and Confession nourish your soul and open you to grace.
4. Talk to Someone: Speak to a priest, a religious, or a spiritual mentor. Discernment is best done in community, not isolation.
5. Try It Out: Attend retreats, visit religious communities, talk to married couples, or spend time with priests. Experience helps discernment take shape.

Discernment takes time. Don’t rush. Be open, be brave, and trust that God will guide you step by step.
