Asking for Signs in Vocation Discernment

As human beings, we want certainty. We receive all sorts of promises from every aspect of life, and in each of these scenarios, we also expect some proof.
Certainty in our spiritual life is no different. We receive some pretty spectacular and amazing promises from God, with some pretty steep expectations that go along with them.
Let us explore how we might approach asking and receiving signs in vocation discernment and challenge you to see a sign you never thought as one!

Hello father how can I really know my vocation? Am really to know and decent my vocation?.

[@simonslater9024]

The way I met Erin May was amazing. I asked her out on a date through a note/letter,and never received Yes,so one could assume the answer for No. I believe my asking her out was a surprise to her because she new nothing about me. I could be married,already have a girlfriend,be single even homosexual-which I’m not. (actually a bit homophobic). When this amazing situation happened I was already interested in another lady and I wouldn’t have chosen Erin May,but believe with grace and Our Lady’s help my Heart changed and every time I see her something happens inside as well as me going to pieces-my nerves! Please, please pray for Erin May and me. I believe that’s it’s God’s will for us soon to get together and get married. Thank you for your prayer’s very much appreciated. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!! Ps not being with Erin May is the heaviest Cross I carry and I’m carrying some heavy one’s at the moment,one being nasty arthritis in my left elbow which is scaring the hell out of me. I ask my guardian angel to help me. St Pio,St Michael Archangel,St John Vianney ie the Cure’ of Ars,St Thérèse of Lisieux etc. Please also pray for Ann and John they are steeped in protestant heresy and John is terminally ill with C and I’m very concerned for his immortal soul. Thank you.

@simonslater9024. !aybe she never read the note. Maybe she dropped it and never got to read it or someone intercepted it and threw it away. Ask her out direct,y and if she refuses she is not interested in you at all and you’re wasting your time waiting when you should be focusing on other things, It could be you are obsessive over someone who has no interest in you, Its easy to imagine how someone’s is in your head and the reality of actually being with that person might not play out like that at all. I’ve thought people were godly only to find out that what I thought were virtues were actually them being shy or quiet and when I finally got to know them they weren’t so Godly after all. Besides if you are busy going about bettering yourself and living your best life you will be more attractive to other people who will then find you interesting,

Fr I am confused to take decision regarding religióus Life vocation

[@jimcook1747]

Read The Religious State by Saint Alphonsus Ligouri. Of course, celibacy means a richer fatherhood, of a nobler estate than merely natural families, with a more glorious way of begetting, and more faithful children.

⁠@@jimcook1747 thats a pretty specific and seemingly one sided reply to a very vague post. Its almost as if you’re replying to something completely different. Did I miss something? Are you Legionary??😏😝🤪
