My hero, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, he did a holy hour, so a whole hour of prayer everyday in front of the Lord. He was a priest for 60 years before he died. He would’ve spent almost 22,000 hours with the Lord. How well would he know the Lord? How well would he know the Lord’s will for him? As far as how long to discern, that depends.

Tell me, God. Where are you, God? Let’s go, God!” If you ever waited for a train, it’s the same thing you do. “Where is the train? Where do we go? Okay, what time is it?” God’s a lover, not a train.
