Vocations

 

"The discernment of a vocation is above all the fruit of an intimate dialogue between the Lord and his disciples. Young people, if they know how to pray, can be trusted to know what to do with God's call."

—Pope Benedict XVI, Response to questions by the bishops
of the United States in Washington, D.C., April 16, 2008
