PRAYER TO
Know One's VocationLord, my God and my loving Father, you have made me to know you, to love you, to serve you, and thereby to find and to fulfill my deepest longings. I know that you are in all things, and that every path can lead me to you.But of them all, there is one especially by which you want me to come to you. Since I will do what you want of me, I pray you, send your Holy Spirit to me: into my mind, to show me what you want of me; into my heart, to give me the determination to do it, and to do it with all my love, with all my mind, and with all of my strength right to the end. Jesus, I trust in you. Amen
All who have been baptized are consecrated persons. However, religious brothers and sisters live a state of consecrated life by the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Community life, prayer and living under the authority of the church are all part of the life of consecrated religious. All are also involved in some form of apostolate or ministry, whether they are contemplative or active. There are various charisms associated with different congregations of religious. These can be types of spirituality or a particular apostolate.
Discovering God's Call
The quest for discovering God's call for your life should be paramount. Nothing is more important. There can be no doubt that a person's earthly fulfillment and ultimate happiness greatly depend on properly discerning God's will, especially in terms of the particular vocation a man or woman may choose. VocationSearch is designed to help you discover more than 150 Catholic religious communities with its unique searchable database.
Prayer and Discernment Resources
The realization that God is asking you to follow Him in consecrated life is made through active participation in the Church, prayer, receiving the sacraments, spiritual reading, and service in the Church. It may be an idea you have considered for a long time or one that has come to you during a significant moment in your life. These are prayers and resources to assist in discerning God’s plan for you.
