Is God be calling you to the priesthood?

• Do I have a strong, personal faith in Jesus Christ and his Bride the Church?
• Do I love people?
• Do I love the Eucharist and the sacraments of the Church?
• Do I have the desire to help people know God's love for them?
• Do I have a persistent inner feeling that God may want me to do this?
• Am I physically and emotionally healthy?
• Do I have an enthusiasm for learning and studying?
• Do others support me in this direction?
• Am I active in my parish?
• Do I have the gifts to serve the Church in leadership?
• With the help of God, could I possibly be called to a celibate life?
• Am I willing to make a sacrifice for the good of others?
