How did you know God was calling you to the priesthood?

I can’t say I have ever been a hundred percent sure God is calling me to the priesthood. However, while I was in Lourdes, France the summer after my freshman year of college, I felt a strong calling from Mary to discern the priesthood. It’s hard to describe what it actually felt like…but it was like a sudden realization that I had never considered what God wanted me to do with my life opposed to what I wanted to do with my life. And over the past two years, I have continued to feel a pull from God towards the priesthood.
