Double Vocation?

[Foamattress]

If you have had two vocational desires throughout your life, and one you love more but you think that it might not be the will of God, what should you do?
Is there such thing as a double vocation in which God lets us choose?

God always lets us choose. However, one will be more beneficial to your salvation than the other. Find a priest that will guide you through your decision.

Double vocation like marriage and permanent diaconate? Or like marriage widowhood and priesthood?

There are a lot of widows and even divorcees who have entered (and even founded) women’s congregations. There used to be an organization in the US called “Sister Moms.” Don’t know if it’s still around. But here’s an article about them from 1998 which was in the National Catholic Register. I used to know some of their members.

and may we know whoch are those vocations?

 

[Maximilian75]

one you love more but you think that it might not be the will of God,

Very rare. God seldom calls us away from what we truly love.

The two vocations I currently feel called to is.
1# The Married state, I can see what sort of a person I could become through this. I desire it to be the holiest one like Sts Anne & Joachim.

2# A traditional latin mass priest that his mission is to go to Israel for the conversion of the Jews ( start the order of Sion more or less )

The former I have more desire for and I can become holy in. And the later I have no idea how it is going to work but I just have this sense of calling towards, I have less desire towards this though.

There is already an Order of Sion:

The Catechism states that the Jews have their own covenant with the Lord. Even the Discalced Carmel on Mt Carmel prays that Israel lives the covenant.

The difference between us and others is the belief in the Eucharist. If someone doesn’t believe in that, there’s no use for them to convert.

Have you read Nostra Aetate, or any other recent documents (including more than one by St. John Paul II) on the ongoing covenant of God with the Jewish people? I don’t think that an order aimed at “conversion of the Jews” would ever get approbation these days. And, if you accept the teachings of the Church on this, that is a good thing.

 

[nunsuch]

Sorry–I didn’t see Cloisters post when I wrote mine. But I agree completely with what she said. By the way, the Order of Sion these days is devoted NOT to “conversion” but to interfaith dialogue.

The mission of the Church still remains the same, even if the emphasis has changed. I suggest you find a TLM order priest and speak with him.
