"Come and see..."(Jn. 1.39)
"Come" first and there He will show His best designs for you; no, He will not reveal His grand plan in this noisy world full of Satan's varied distractions to darken your eyes and deafen your ears against the Good Shepherd beckoning. You must be 12-27 y/o without medical problem & w/parents living in Catholic marriage.

There are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. HE THAT CAN TAKE IT, LET HIM TAKE IT [see how you would displease God if you tell Him : 'I'll just serve You another way']. If you shall hear His voice, harden not your hearts.... yield yourselves to the Lord... and come to His sanctuary... serve the Lord... lest you enter not into [His] rest (Mt. 9.12; Ps. 94.8; II Paralipomenon 30.8 - Biblia Sacra Vugata Latina).
St. Paul the Apostle
I say to the unmarried: it is good for them if they so continue even as I. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God (I Corinthians 7.8,26,27,32).
St. Alphonsus, Doctor of the Church
"I have said [enter] a monastery/Seminary of strict traditional observance [NOT OF THE 'LIBERAL' MODERNIST CORRUPTION]; because if you want to enter another, where they live more freely, it is better for you to stay at home and attend there to the salvation of your soul as well as you can; for entering an Order where the spirit is relaxed, you expose yourself to the danger of being lost." (Counsels on Vocation)
Our holy Mother, Teresa de Jesus
".... A great pity... when a monastery follows standards and allows recreations which belong to the world..." - see more: "Our Traditional Teresian Ideal"

Levites [reference, abolished in the "New" 'rite'] a man... to stand before... My Face... to offer to Me... the Blood [changed: "to offer the sacrificeS OF THE PEOPLE," the "New" 'potificale' providing not a Catholic priest - a minister of God - offering the One Propitiatory Sacrifice of the Eternal High Priest; but, a Protestant 'presider', a minister of an egalitarian assembly] (Jer. 33.18; Ezech. 44.15)
