A Resurrectionist Vocation Minute for April 19, 3rd Sunday of Easter
Who Are You Walking with on Your Journey?
The two disciples did not walk alone; they journeyed together and discussed their doubts. Discerning a religious vocation is not meant to be done in isolation. By sharing our hopes and difficulties with a spiritual director or a community, we invite Jesus into the conversation. He meets us where we are and guides our discernment. Are you willing to share your journey with others to hear His voice more clearly?
“A religious community arises when individuals live together in order to assist each other to respond more generously to their vowed commitment (cf. Constitutions, 149). Since its primary purpose is the spiritual development of its members, the religious congregation is a faith community. The motives for its existence, its goals and the means used to attain these goals are rooted in faith. Members further hold that of themselves they cannot attain the group goals and need to rely on the presence and the power of the Lord within them to do so.”
