Amas Me? Quo Vadis Days 2006 Manual 1 2 Our Lady, Queen of Priests, ora pro nobis. O Virgin Mary, bless this Quo Vadis Days discernment camp. We entrust these young men to your maternal care and protection. They are yours and they seek your Son. Lead them to their Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. When your vocation was revealed, you courageously answered YES and the Spirit came to your assistance. Teach these men, your sons, to hear the Father’s voice. Pray they accept their vocation and find peace and joy. Intercede that the Church may be blessed with more priests. O Blessed Mary, Queen of Priests, sanctify us. Teach us to more perfectly image your Son, the Great High Priest. Grant us more brother priests that His Presence may fill the earth. - Priests of Quo Vadis Days 3 Table of Contents QVD Schedule… 6 Quo Vadis Tradition … 10 You are here for a Reason … 11 How to get the most out of Quo Vadis Days … 12 Why do I need a Plan of Life? … 13 My Plan of Life … 14 Making Decisions as a Son of the Father … 15 10 Ways to Seek God’s Will … 16 Simple Steps to Decision Making … 17 On Vocations … 18 Basic Steps of Discernment… 19 Am I called to Enter the Seminary? ... 29 The Holy Eucharist and Vocations … 31 Tips for Prayer… 32 God Speaks in Silence… 33 Praying with St. Ignatius… 34 Ignatian Gospel Contemplation… 35 How to Make a Holy Hour… 36 Lectio Divina… 40 Scripture for Vocation Discernment… 41 This Year’s Quo Vadis Theme… 42 4 Sentire cum Eclessia… 43 The Practice of the Presence of God… 44 Common Prayers … 46 The Angelus… 48 The Cradle of Christ… 49 Priests’ Vesting Prayers… 50 Priest’s Prayer of Intention… 52 Notes… 53 How to Go to Confession... 72 Examination of Conscience… 74 The Virgin Mary: Model of Vocations… 77 The Cure of Ars… 78 Catechism in the Priesthood...81 Do You have what it takes?... 82 Ordination Promises… 83 What is a Priest?... 84 Questions on Discernment… 86 The Priesthood and Celibacy… 89 More Questions on Priesthood… 91 Are you called to the Priesthood?... 92 Our Holy Father’s Priestly Vocation Prayer… 94 John Paul II on Priesthood… 95 Books and Writings on the Priesthood and More… 96 5 QVD Schedule SUNDAY Time Event Location 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm Check In; Social Rec Room 5:00 pm – 5:30 pm Introduction Chapel 5:30 pm – 6:00 pm Solemn Vespers Chapel 6:00 pm – 6:45 pm Dinner Patriot Hall 6:45 pm – 7:30 pm Talk Classroom 8:45 pm – 11:00 pm Night Activity Football Field 11:00 pm –11:30 pm Rosary Chapel 11:30 pm – 11:45 pm Night Prayer Chapel Midnight Lights out Rooms 6 MONDAY and TUESDAY Time Event Location 7:00 am – Breakfast Patriot Hall 8:00 am 8:15 am - Talk Classroom 9:00 am 9:00 am - Morning Prayer and Chapel 10:00 am The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass 10:00 am - Adoration, Confession, Sp.

As legend has it, Peter decided to flee Rome at the outbreak of the persecution, perhaps in fear, perhaps because he thought “the rock” should be somewhere safe so others could eventually find and cling to it, and to him. Heading out the Via Appia, Peter meets Jesus, who is heading into the city of Rome to face the persecu- tion. “Quo vadis, Domine,” Peter asks – “Lord, where are you going?” “I am going to Rome to be crucified,” Jesus answers – and disappears. At which point Peter turns back into the city to embrace martyrdom. In Rome, you can visit the place on the Via Appia Antica where this meeting is said to have occurred. Christians have built a church on the spot to commemorate it. The question St. Peter asked the Lord is now being asked of you by the Lord. In our own personal vocation and spiritual journey, the Lord asks: “Where are you going?” To answer the question you must discern “What is the Father’s will for you?” Quo Vadis Days are offered to help you discern what is the Father’s will for you. What is your vocation? 10
