\n<\/strong>Scivias: Know the Ways of the Lord
\n\u201cThere are plenty of things that talk about what the priesthood is, or what vocation is, or what discernment is, but in terms of the nitty-gritty, of going into the details, and how do I know God\u2019s will for my life, that can be more challenging.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Scivias: Know the Ways of the Lord
\n\u201cIf we don\u2019t desire it, then we\u2019re not going to do it, and we don\u2019t even want to know, why would He tell us? So first we\u2019ve got to be ready by desiring it. And then secondly, recognizing: \u2018Well, maybe I don\u2019t desire it perfectly. Maybe there\u2019s other things that I desire as well or more.\u2019 So being able to sort out these different desires within my heart, to place God as number one so that I\u2019m ready to say yes to him and have the freedom to say yes to Him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Scivias: Know the Ways of the Lord
\n\u201cI believe the first two parts of the series will be helpful for any Christian, really, just desiring to grow in their relationship with the Lord: learning how to pray, learning how to come before Him with our hearts. And being able to hear His voice and to say yes, whatever He asks of us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
