Discernment: In discerning your vocation to religious
life, look at how God works in your life.
Identify key moments throughout your history that your experienced God
at work within you, around you and through you. How are God’s promises being
fulfilled in your life? How is Jesus
present to you?
In solitude consider how
Jesus may be calling you. What is Jesus saying to you?
In surrendering to God,
what do you expect of God? What do you
anticipate from God? For what do you hope?
In reviewing your life
story, what have been the most important decisions you have made in your life
thus far? What were your hopes and fears in the process of making those
decisions? How did you come to those decisions? Which of those decisions left you pleased/displeased?
And why? What were the consequences and
outcomes of those decisions? In considering the decision of pursuing/not
pursuing religious life, what do you learn from how you made past decisions and
their outcomes?
