The Joy of Priesthood and the Challenges of Modern Times

Friends, at the recent FOCUS SEEK, seminarians and young people discerning their vocation asked me range of questions about calling and vocations, including:

• Did Bishop Barron ever consider religious life?
• How should we use philosophy to approach and interact with theology?
• What should we do about a “dark night of the soul” when it comes to discernment?
• How should one discern between dating versus pursuing a religious vocation?
• What should women in particular look for when discerning a religious order?
• How should one sift through fears and anxieties during discernment?
• What is something that Bishop Barron learned as a priest, that he wish he had known as a seminarian?
