Signs of a Vocation to Religious Life?

"First Sign: Desire
If God is truly calling you, He gives you a certain attraction, a certain positive inclination toward the life.

"Second Sign: Right Motivation
To want to dedicate your life to the service of God and His people. To want to live the gospel of Christ as fully as possible. To want to share a common vision of faith and spirituality with a community of like-minded people. Spiritual, Religious Reasons!

"Third Sign: Fitness
Do you have the ability to live the life as it should be lived, that is, cheerfully and generously? Somehow the life itself must suit you and you must suit the life. There should be a ‘meshing’ of your personality with the requirements of religious life. "
