Michaelangelo is known to have said that he didn't create his sculptures, but merely freed them from the rock in which they were imprisoned. Vocation, it seems to me, is a lot like that. The discernment process doesn't make a priest or a monk or a nun or a friar any more than bishops do, but merely helps to uncover and discover what God created from the beginning.
