Can You Move From Questioning to Action?
- Fr Pawel Szymanowski, CR
- Luke 3: 10 - 18
A Resurrectionist Vocation Minute for December 15, 3rd Sunday of Advent
Can you move from questioning to action?
The people didn’t just ask for advice; they were ready to respond.
Discerning a religious vocation means not only asking God, “What should I do?” but also having the courage to follow through. Like those who came to John the Baptist, you must be willing to take concrete steps: find a spiritual director, serve those in need, commit to regular prayer.
Will you find the courage to move from questioning into a commitment?
“An important aid to discernment is the practice of spiritual direction, in which we share with another person the movements of the Spirit in our heart and, in confronting our own frailty, draw closer to the Lord, who took upon himself and redeemed the weakness of our humanity. The Gospels speak of Jesus’ many encounters with persons who opened their hearts to him and experienced his mercy and forgiveness. In conversation with a spiritual guide, we often discern more clearly the true direction of our lives and the quiet working of God’s grace in our hearts”
