Discernment – Are You Called?

How do you know if you are called to religious life in Holy Cross? There is no simple answer.  A good start is to reflect on the following questions:

• Do I find myself wondering if there is more to life?
• Do I have a desire to know God more deeply and give my whole self to God?
• Am I drawn to pray and participate in the liturgy?
• Do I take an active role in the life of the Church?
• Do I feel called to live out the gospel?
• Do I desire to live a simple lifestyle?
• Do I feel called to share life, ministry and faith with others?
• Do I value the multicultural abundance in our world?
• Am I concerned with the unmet needs of others, especially the poor and those treated unjustly?
• Do I believe we can do more together than alone?
• DO I WANT A CHALLENGING LIFE LIVED WITH DEEP SATISFACTION AND LOVE?

If you answer yes to most of these questions, God may be calling you to be a sister.
