Question 1 of 5
1. Question
I love Jesus Christ and I have a thirst to bring Jesus and his teachings to the world.
Correct
All people are called to bring Jesus to the world, but having this thirst is an essential sign for pursuit of the priesthood. Without a proper focus on Christ, priests cannot help people find him!

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
I am trying to live a life of prayer and I desire a life of prayer.
Correct
While priests are servants of the people, they themselves must be grounded in prayer. Furthermore, if you do not have a very active prayer life, you cannot expect clarity in your discernment. How can you expect God to talk to you if you don’t give him a chance?

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
I feel a desire to be a priest (though it may be sometimes stronger than at other times).
Correct
If God is calling a man to be a priest, that man will feel at least some attraction to the priesthood. God wants us to be happy, and will not force us to accept a vocation that we find unattractive.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
I think that I have the physical, emotional, and psychological stability to become a priest.
Correct
Priests accompany people through the extreme lows and highs of life, and are faced with very difficult circumstances. God equips those who he calls with what they need. They need not be perfect, sinless, or a model of athleticism, but the priesthood is not a place to hide from issues.
