My Discernment

[BAChristian]

Please pray for me as I continue to seek God's calling in my life...

I am going to become an Extraordinary Minister and Lector. I decided this tonight as it's been something that I've been praying about lately. Over the next couple of years, I will seek discernment through prayer, particularly in adoration, for the Diaconate...

I feel, as I've stated before, a strong calling to ministry. My calling to His Church is, what I feel, to be just one more step closer to whatever ministry he's calling me to fulfill.

I want to be sure though. I don't want to "ride on an emotional high" from my recent confirmation. And the only way to do that is to start in smaller vocations, and continue in prayer. The Lord will let me know when he's ready for me to take the next step. I'm sure of it.

*smiles and hugs you* I've been both, and I can tell you it's a double blessing if you do it with heart and soul in service of Him and your parrish. A blessing for the parrish, and a blessing for yourself.
There is little stronger then the feeling you get when speaking those words and realising it is not you speaking, that you are only a pass through window that gives voice to something more.

A wise choice as well to take your time for further decisions. God will make His calling for you clear.
Be loved and blessed!

BAChristian--

I know your situation well, my friend. I too joined the Church several years ago, and I am now praying for the discernment regarding the Permanent Diaconate. You will be in my prayers.

O God, you sent your Son, Jesus, to bring eternal life to those who believe. I join him in praying for laborers for your harvest. May your Holy Spirit inspire men and women to continue his mission through your priesthood, diaconate, religious life and lay ministry. May this same Spirit make known your will for my life.
