Summary
Hearing God’s Voice – Is Jesus Calling You with Fr. Paul Hoesing Fr. Paul Hoesing and Kris McGregor discuss the process of discernment, particularly in the context of vocational calling, with a focus on priesthood but applicable to all vocations, using the booklet “Is Jesus Calling You to Be a Catholic Priest?” authored by Father Tom Richter. Discernment involves more than decision-making; it’s about listening attentively to God’s voice amidst the noise of the world, the devil, and our own egos. Encountering Christ personally, especially through prayer and the sacraments, is the foundation of discernment. Fr. Hoesing shares anecdotes and insights, such as the distinction between the voices of God and those of the world, and the significance of feelings of blessing and gratitude as indicators of God’s presence. Discerning Hearts Reflection Questions: * Encounter with Christ: Where have you encountered Christ in your life, and what impact has that encounter had on you? * Gratitude and Blessings: Can you identify specific instances where you’ve felt blessed and grateful for God’s actions in your life? * Discerning God’s Voice: How do you distinguish between the voice of God and other competing voices, such as those of the world, the devil, and your own ego? * Personal Encounter with Christ: In what ways do you currently cultivate a personal encounter with Christ through prayer and the sacraments? * Embracing God’s Call: How do you respond to the call of God in your life, whether it be towards priesthood, religious life, marriage, or another vocation? * Seeking Guidance and Blessing: How can you seek guidance from God as you navigate your discernment journey Based on “Is Jesus Calling You To Be A Catholic Priest: A helpful guide”, published by National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Director. Fr. Paul Hoesing serves at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary as President Rector
