Calling all people that are looking for quiz answers ... here you go!! Enjoy! OK. First of all, if you answered a) on the last question, forget it. Unless God strikes you off your horse, you’ve got a ways to go before a convent or monastery loom before you. (Basically, you lied and you’re caught – the Pope has no official title for his socks – they’re just “his socks.”) So, now for all you honest players still in the game, disregard question 12, and tally your total as follows:
For every (a), give yourself three points;
For every (b), two points; and
For every (c), one point.
27 - 36 — You are indubitably, undeniably, without a doubt, Sister, Brother, or Priest material. Seriously! We encourage you to pray about this as a possible vocation in your life. Open your heart to God and say, “All that I am, I give to you Christ. Reveal your will ... whatever it takes, I want to follow it.”
21 - 26 — You’re walking a fine line between the “aisle” and the “cloth.” Which will it be? Chances are you haven’t given it enough thought or prayer. We encourage you to do that and be open to God’s will for your life.
12 - 20 — Looks like a vocation to religious life is not exactly ‘round the bend for you. Still, pray about your vocation, whether to the married life or single. If you ask, God will reveal, without doubt, your path in life.
0 - 11 — You’re just a bit too determined not to go in this direction! Maybe you’re fleeing a possible call ... You can run, but you can’t hide.
