Fr. Dubroc’s Tips for Discernment
The Director of Seminarians and Vocations for the Diocese of Lafayette offers eight essential tips for navigating your discernment.
Where is God Calling You?
Priesthood
The priest is a man ordained into the ministerial priesthood of Jesus Christ. As a priest, he is called to be the bridge between God and man. The priest is a man called to serve the entire Church and to offer sacrifice on behalf of of the people of God.
Religious Life
Men and women who are called to the religious life are those who dedicate and commit themselves wholly and entirely to the Kingdom of God. Their vows, life of prayer, and living out of specific charisms is a life that reflects their calling, to be in total union with God.
Do not forget that when God calls, he also provides the necessary strength and grace to answer His call.
— Saint Pope John Paul II
