This morning I met with 130 children--kindergarten through 8th
grade--to talk about vocations: to religious life, to priesthood, to marriage
or to the single life. Each vocation is
a call from God that is unique to each of God’s sons and daughters. 75% of our youth are called to marriage
and/or the single lifestyle and 25% to priesthood and/or to religious
life. Fulfillment , reaching one’s
potential in life as well as being happy, at peace and filled with joy comes
with responding to God’s will in terms of vocation and routine decisions that
are made every day. Are you tuning in to
that quiet voice at the core of your being to hear God’s call to you and do you
have the courage, both in big decisions, such as a vocation in life, and small
decisions, like shutting off the TV and doing your homework, to follow that
inner call. It is heard only by you, as
God talks directly to each person. Below is a picture of the newest members of my
religious community. Happiness and joy radiates from their faces because have
listened to God’s call in the inner depths of their being. T May you tune in—God is calling you all of the
time to the path that is right for you in significant and less significant choices
that you face each day.
