Vocational discernment in the Catholic Church
Vocational discernment is the process in which men or women in the Catholic Church discern, or recognize, their vocation in the Church. The four vocations are the married life, single life, religious life, and ordained life. Vocational discernment is often spoken about only in relation to priestly or religious vocations. It has been argued that this common restriction of the term is a mistake,〔Russell Shaw, (Do You have a Vocation? ) (This Rock: April 2005).〕 and even decreases religious vocations, because it discourages people who don't immediately feel called to the clerical state or consecrated life from engaging in vocational discernment.
==Process==
Each diocese or religious institute usually has its own guidelines and advice for men or women discerning religious vocations. Many dioceses and religious institutes encourage men and women with potential vocations to spend time, usually anywhere from six months to a year, praying and asking God to enlighten them. Those who feel they might be called to a religious vocation are encouraged to seek a spiritual director to help them along the way.〔Pope John Paul II, (Message for the 13th world youth day ), n. 8.〕 After the set time, many institutes have a formal discernment process which the candidate will engage in, before entering the institute as a novice, or the seminary. Candidates should be advised that some traditions hold that a person can feel the judgements of others, and so a perceived vocation may merely be the judgement of one's parish that one ought to be a priest.
