This "call" from God is not necessarily an actual voice. It appeals to the heart and not the ear. It is best described as a desire to serve Our Lord in a better way than we are serving Him now, much like the desire of the young man in the Gospel. Our Lord's call to the heart He has captivated and wants to possess varies with the facets of His own Wisdom considering each human's own unique personality. The calls are infinitely varied: some distinct and overpowering, others like a whispering breeze that must be carefully listened to to be discerned. Some hear the call from childhood and only wait until they are of age, others receive it suddenly. Some are drawn quietly, others hesitatingly. This last is attracted and repulsed also. They desire to make the sacrifice but tremble at the cost.
