How to Actually Discern Your Vocation | Fr Chris Vincent Gault OP
Called to More
11,501 views
Do you feel paralysed by the choice between priesthood, marriage, religious life or staying single? In this episode, Fr Chris Gault, an Irish Dominican, explains why God is far more involved in your discernment than you might think, and why your vocation to holiness begins today, not on the day you're ordained or married. He makes the case for considering religious life boldly, for putting the service of God before the question "will I be happy?", and for daily prayer as the oxygen of discernment. If you're afraid of getting it wrong, this is an invitation to trust that God will finish what he has started in you.

I am in Formal Discernment with the Jesuits and in Discernment with the OFMs right now. Please pray for me. I would really love to feel his push or pull in the direction He desires that I could best serve Him, His people and His Church.
I've been struggling with discernment a lot lately because I have great urges to pursue monastic life. I fear often I am being selfish and trying to force my way somewhere I'm not meant to be.
I'm being patient, keeping my eyes on the lord and letting him lead the way.
Thank you for this video.
May God's peace be with you.
4:42 God bless you, Fr Chris Vincent Gault, I had never truly understood the deeper reason for obedience until hearing these three points and your developments on happiness in our relationship with God!
