Box1 answerthatgenerallyspeaking, oraccordingtoordinaryprovidence, twothingsarerequiredandaresalticienttodetermineadivinevocationnamely,thenecessaryfitness andaproperinclinationofthewill.

THENECESSARYFITNESSconsistsinageneralsuitablenessfor thereligiouslifeand,inparticular, fortheobservanceoftherulesand constitutionofthereligiousorderin question.Thisgeneralsu.tableness willshowitself,ingooddisposition, indocilityofmind,inknowledgerelativelysufficientfortheworkintended,andinanabsenceofsuchdefectsofbodyandmindasmaybe repugnanttothemanneroflifeintended.

THEINCLINATIONOFTHE WILLtoenterReligion-thatis,to followtheevangelicalcounselsofabsolutepoverty,perfectchastityand entireobedience-mustbeconstant andright.Toheconstant,itmust befreefromconstantchanges.This isnotinconsistentwithsomepast failuretorespond,causedbytemp- tationfromtheEvilOne,orby somenaturalrepugnance.Itshould alsoberemarkedthat,thisinclinationtowardsthereligiouslifeneed notnecessarilyarisespontaneously fromthewill,ratherthanbearesultofanintimatepersuasionofthe mind.Toberight,thisinclination mustcomefromapureintention; suchas,thebettertosecureone's salvation,topromoteGod'sglory, ortosavesouls.
