Except for some extraordinary cases of saints who received a special sign from God (such as Saint Paul, who experienced a vision of Christ on the road to Damascus), Jesus normally calls one to the consecrated life (priestly and \/ or religious) with an \u00abinner movement\u00bb. The person \u00abknows\u00bb, \u00abexperiences\u00bb that he is called, perhaps after a special event in his life. If someone feels attracted by the words of Our Lord in the Gospel or by the example of other priests and missionaries and wishes to part with earthly goods to follow Christ as He has indicated, that person may think that they are called to the priesthood. Every vocation is an unrepeatable act of God&#8217;s love; it is strictly personal and needs personal direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you believe that God is calling you, it is necessary that you talk about it, not with anyone at all, but rather with a good and experienced priest; he will help you in your discernment, to know if Christ really is giving you this particular vocation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want to speak with our priests to have spiritual direction, or make any consultation, contact us.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrevious<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNext<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/ive.org\/vocation\/apostolic-life\/\"><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe missionary priest \t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00abAs the Father sent me, so I send you\u00bb<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRead More<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/ive.org\/vocation\/contemplative-life\/\"><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tContemplative Life\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00abThey will leave everything for Him\u00bb<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRead More<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/ive.org\/vocation\/minor-seminary\/\"><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMinor Seminary\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tAt the service of God from youth<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRead More<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Contact us<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>If you want to talk to our priests to do spiritual direction, or make a inquiry.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"255\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/ive.org\/iveorg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/escudo-blanco.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ive.org\/iveorg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/escudo-blanco.png 255w, https:\/\/ive.org\/iveorg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/escudo-blanco-210x300.png 210w, https:\/\/ive.org\/iveorg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/escudo-blanco-102x146.png 102w, https:\/\/ive.org\/iveorg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/escudo-blanco-35x50.png 35w, https:\/\/ive.org\/iveorg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/escudo-blanco-53x75.png 53w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>\u00abEvery vocation is an unrepeatable act of God&#8217;s love&#8230;\u00bb <br \/> St. John Paul II<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vocations Is Jesus calling me?
