There are many ways to support your discernment journey. Here are a few trusted tools:

• Scripture: The Bible is full of stories of God calling ordinary people to extraordinary missions. Read slowly and prayerfully—especially passages like Isaiah 6, Jeremiah 1, Luke 1, and John 21.
• Saints: Learn from those who’ve gone before you. St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and St. John Henry Newman all wrote powerfully about discovering God’s will.
• Retreats: Time away from the noise can provide space to listen. Diocesan vocations offices often offer specific discernment weekends.
• Journaling: Writing can help clarify your thoughts and track how God is moving in your life.
• Spiritual Direction: A trained spiritual director can walk with you, offering insight and prayerful support.

Remember, discernment is not about figuring everything out, but about taking the next faithful step. You’re not alone on the journey.
