VOCATION/FORMATION

A vocation is a call from God inviting a woman to a deeper awareness of His love. It is an awareness of God's involvement with women religious who invest their lives for the love and loyalty to their society and the poor, with the spirit of humility, self-sacrifice and obedience.

We invite you to take some time and discern:
Find some time and think of how God has worked in your life.
How has Jesus been present in your life?

Now, reflect on Luke 9:28-36. How might Jesus be calling you?
What is Jesus saying to you today?
