God calls each soul in a unique way, so there are no hard-and-fast rules for discerning His call, but some practical steps that our Sisters have found helpful include: 

• Attending Mass daily, or as frequently as possible
• Spending time often with our Eucharistic Lord, and if possible committing to a regular time of Eucharistic Adoration at least weekly
• Reading Sacred Scripture, the lives of the Saints, and other spiritual books
• Seeking advice from a priest or a religious you know, and if possible committing to regular spiritual direction
• Learning more about the Evangelical Counsels and about the charisms of different institutes
• Making a Marian Consecration such as the one outlined by St. Louis de Montfort
• Spending time in silence, and minimizing use of electronics and social media
• Examining in prayer your interests and attractions, and whether they may have any bearing on your vocation
• Contacting and/or visiting religious communities
