Discerners -- to what are you being attracted?

[Cloisters]

I thought I would open a thread where discerners could post that to which they are being attracted. This way we can see at a glance who is discerning, and to what. Hopefully, this will generate more precise prayer Intentions, and the discerner can arrive at their destination sooner, Lord willin’.

Blessings,

For about 2 years now, I have been discerning the priesthood. Recently I starting thinking about whether to join a religious order or become a diocesan priest. I looked into some religious orders and came across the legionaries of Christ. This order attracted me so much, but for some reason I just knew it was not for me. I struggled for a very long time to get over the fact that the Legionaries were not for me (I also had a desire to have my own parish).

Now that I am focusing on the diocesan life, I have fallen in love with 2 major things that has fed my faith and my vocation: The Eucharist and Mary. I am now consecrated to Mary through Montfort’s way. God willing, if I am accepted to my diocese as a seminarian, I will attend the seminary next year. Please pray for me, as I go through this journey, as I also battle against impurities. Help me in my battle. Thank you.

Blessings to you for your response!

When it comes to purity issues, implore the intercession of St Thomas Aquinas. The Confraternity of Angelic Warfare is specifically for the striving for purity. Also, keep in mind how the other person would feel if they knew you were lusting after them. We are all tempted according to our state in life.
