How can I tell if I have a Vocation?
One is that you feel "at home" there. This is logical, since your vocation is what God meant you to be when he created you, so obviously when you are where he wants you to be you have the feeling of being made for there, which you were.
But I think it is also very important that you feel like it is just a little too much. If you don't you are either in the wrong place or you haven't understood what it is all about.
You see, God always  calls us higher. When you are where  God wants you to be you realize  that you are not going to be able to do  this on your own. You need his  grace, it is going to cost you, you are  going to have to die to  yourself, you are going to have to make choices,  there are things you  like that are now going to have to take second,  third or fourth place,  or have no place at all.... The second sign then  is that tremor of  fear. You could say it another way, you could say that  you have found  your call when you discover that you are really going to  have to work  to make it a reality. Your vocation is not something you  discover and  slip into comfortably and effortlessly. It is going to take  all the  qualities you have (both spiritual and human) and make you  stretch and  develop and use them beyond what you ever thought possible.  Because God  wants you to be a saint, and that is the challenge of a  lifetime.
