Each
one of us experience the call differently. God knows us and
leads us in a way that that suits us best. The attraction
may come in many ways: through a Sister you admire, as a grace
from a retreat you make, a desire that somehow wells up inside
of you. However it
may happen, there are certain signs you might look for. These
include:
| |
 |
an increased awareness of God in your life, |
| |
 |
a developing friendship with Jesus and a growing desire
to share in His mission of fulfilling the Father's plan
for creation, |
| |
 |
a deepening appreciation of prayer, Eucharist and the
Sacraments, |
| |
 |
a growing wonderment at what it would be like to be
a Sister and a desire to give yourself completely to the
Lord and the works of the Lord |
| |
 |
a caring attitude toward all of God's people, especially
the most needy, |
| |
 |
an interest in being of service to others, |
| |
 |
an other-oriented stance toward life that would adapt
to community living, |
| |
 |
a heightened awareness of what is most important in
your life and a growing sense that God is calling you
to something deeper than you have experienced. |
