    | DISCERNING A VOCATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD / RELIGIOUS LIFE 
 What is offered here is a prayer discernment exercise. Over seven moments there is a scripture text with a key question aimed at assisting people who feel they may be called to the priesthood / religious life. It is recommended that this be used over a seven day period – one point in chronological order per day.
 ¡°Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you came to birth I consecrated you.¡± (Jeremiah 1/5)
 
 God, how did you imagine me before you made me?
 
 
 ¡°I shall no longer call you servants ¡¦ I call you friends.¡± (John 15/15)
 God, why was it in your loving design for me to know Jesus?
 
 
 ¡°You created my inmost self, knit me together in my mother¡¯s womb. For so many marvels I thank you.¡± (Psalm 139/13-14)
 God, what are you telling me through my family and the many gifts you have given me?
 
 
 ¡°There are many different gifts, but always the same Spirit; there are many different ways of serving, but always the same Lord¡±(1Cor.12/4-5)
 God, what are your plans for me in the service of others?¡±
 
 
 ¡°Jesus was setting out on a journey when a man ran up¡¦ (and asked) ¡°Good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life.¡± (Mark 10/17)
 God, if I am to be a priest/religious how can I give up my other options?
 
 
 ¡°Come after me and I will make you fishers of people¡± (Matthew 4/19)
 God, why would you want me to be a priest/religious?
 
 
 ¡°Do you love me? ¡¦. Look after my sheep.¡± (John 21/16)
 God, how can you give me the strength to prepare?
