What Shall I Be? A Chat With Young People

The author presents a concise, conversational guide for young readers wrestling with the question, “What shall I be?” By drawing on Scripture, the early Fathers, and recent Church teachings, the book clears away the intimidating myths that have long surrounded religious vocations. It explains that a true calling does not require dramatic inner signs, but rather a sincere intention, suitable character, and a readiness to serve—whether that service is lived out in a convent, a parish, or the wider world.

In an accessible style, the work walks the reader through the practical steps of discerning a life of ministry, offering concrete criteria and thoughtful reflections that encourage honest self‑examination. The discussion is rooted in compassionate advice, aiming to help students and teenagers make a generous, well‑informed choice about their future path without pressuring them toward any specific outcome.
