God can use a direct approach, by touching your life and letting you know that He wants you to give your life entirely in His service as a priest. Most people hear statements from others encouraging them to consider the priesthood, in essence the Lord uses other people to begin to water the seed of a priestly vocation in a man's heart. If you find peace in your heart when you picture yourself as a priest, consider that a direct call from God.
Many people wrongly believe the priesthood can be a boring life.
The poor, the sick, the elderly, the young, married people, drug and alchohol abusers, rich people, people in solid marriages and difficult marriages all look to their priests at some point in their lives to find deeper meaning for their existence. Priests are called everyday to respond to the challenges people face, to see Jesus in the gift of others, even those who are hostile or antagonistic to the faith and proclaim Christ's message of salvation, in season and out of season. Mass. Only the priest through the Divine Mercy of God has the power to forgive sins in the sacrament of reconciliation and allow people to truly feel the healing presence of Jesus Christ. Priesthood is not a job but a vocation which is active and ever growing through the Grace of the Holy Spirit in a man's life. Obedience is to follow what the local Bishop asks a priest to do.
