Bear in Mind

"What makes a man a good priest - or a good husband - is being a real man. What distinguishes a real man is that he is able to give all of himself, without reservation, to the call. He doesn't just want to be able to give his whole self, but is actually able to, without holding anything back. You need to be able to give your whole self."

~ Father Raymond in "Black as Night" by Regina Doman

It isn't hard to apply this to oneself. In my case, obviously, the roles of nun or wife are the ones available to me, but the principle remains the same.

Just think about it.
