š“t is almost inevitable, to one extent, that all faithful followers of Christ reach this crossroad. Through the means of the world, it is difficult to hear God's voice through the noise and understand His almighty will for our lives.
Yet rooted in centuries-old liturgical traditions, the Traditional Latin Mass stands as a sublime monument of contemplative faith and piety. For those who find themselves embarking on the discernment journey between marriage and consecrated life, the Latin Mass provides an exquisite setting for profound introspection and spiritual reflection, for true connection with Our Lord! Its ancient Gregorian Chants, intricate rituals, and use of the sacred Latin language create an atmosphere of transcendent beauty that allows individuals to detach from worldly distractions and immerse themselves in the profound mysteries of the liturgy.
Within the hallowed context of the Latin Mass, as you are discerning between marriage and consecrated life you will be drawn closer to the essence of these two vocations. As you partake in the timeless celebration and absorb the solemnity of Christ's sacrifice on Calvary, you can use the Mass to gain a deeper understanding of the sacrificial love exemplified in both states of life. The Latin Mass transforms into a sacred space where you can intimately connect with the enduring heritage of the Church, seek inspiration and guidance to discern which path aligns with your unique calling. Through prayerful attentiveness to the promptings of the Holy Ghost, Holy Mother Church invites you to discern God's will and whether to embark on the sacred journey of marriage or the consecrated life, ultimately embracing the vocation that best reflects the path God has uniquely chosen for you!

Often a long process that takes many years to enact, outside of traditional communities like-minded advice echoes across the lips of our elders: "Don't worry. You still have plenty of time to discover where you are called. There is no need to start thinking about that now." This is poor advice.
For many of us (especially those younger and less seasoned in the process) we barely know what it means to properly discern our vocation, let alone have knowledge of helpful tips or useful tools to understanding God's whispers!Ā
We are here to offer you the help that all of us so desperately need.
