PhuturePriest Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well, it's been almost a year and a half of discerning the Religious life, and from the beginning I've been somewhat resistant to marriage. It was ironic, really. At first I wanted to be married and would've done anything to avoid being a Priest or a Religious, and when I wanted to be a Priest or Religious I would've done anything to avoid getting married. But now, it seems, I think I've opened my mind a little bit and I've taken marriage into consideration. I am still, of course, planning on going to Seminary, as I think this is what God really wants me to do, but there are some aspects of marriage that attract me and I've decided to keep my mind open. Thank you all for helping me to come to this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a very wise course of action. I applaud you for taking the time to look and listen and learn. Even if you do go into the seminary there are things about marriage and discerning that route that you should know about if and when you have to talk to your flock about it.

the171 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well, I guess it's out. I thought we were going to keep this on the down low until we discerned whether or not we were going to actually make that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papist Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 To really discern, you should detach yourself from the secular world and all its distractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
