REVIEWS


Father Wenceslao Vial’s book Psychology of a Vocation is a very helpful handbook for those considering a vocation to the priesthood or for those helping to guide others in the discernment process.

REV. MSGR. ANDREW R. BAKER, STD
Rector, Mount St. Mary’s Seminary, Emmitsburg, Maryland

Vial’s Psychology of a Vocation will quickly become a welcome addition to the seminary formator’s tools for forming true shepherds after the heart of Christ in this third millennium. It is a much-needed clear guide to applying the science of psychology for all involved in priestly formation, providing insights into the psychological aspects of the four dimensions.

VERY REV. SCOTT BORGMAN, JCD
Judicial Vicar, Diocese of Orange in California

Practical and concise, Psychology of a Vocation is a helpful resource for seminarians and priests navigating the complexities of life in the twenty-first century. From vocational discernment to a healthy priestly life to avoiding the dangers of burnout, Fr. Vial covers a lot of ground with competence and clarity.

REV. CARTER GRIFFIN
Rector, Saint John Paul II Seminary, Washington, DC

I really enjoyed this positive, uplifting and affirming book and highly recommend it. It helped me reflect and understand more about my own identity and mission as a priest, and I think it can be used as a valuable resource in fostering vocations.
