This could be helpful for all of us trying to discern our vocations:
This is advice from Don Bosco to those young people trying to discover their vocation:
"Let me show you another way to help determine your call in life. Look at a crucifix and say, "God, I want to choose that state of life which will give me the deepest satisfaction at the moment of my death. Enlighten me; make known to me Your holy will." Then say the Our Father and silently wait to hear what your heart tells you." Many who have followed this council have often decided upon a very different career from what they had first planned. The Lord gives this grace to one who is sincere and determinded to follow a divine call.

postnovitiate is a little difficult compared to the novitiate because you are already out of the "womb" of the congregation. its the real world. just a little sharing from my experience: this is a challenging stage but all the challenges makes us grow to be better salesians. it is the where we, sometimes, make little mistakes but we know we are growing "baby salesians"....how's the analogy? hahaha
