Are
you called to be a Fraterna?
Everyone is called to be a disciple. However, you are
also called to a specific vocation. As a woman, you can
be called to marriage, consecrated lay life, or
religious life. It is essential to ask yourself what
your vocation is and then to respond to it consciously.
The
question of your vocation is not about what you would
like to do with your life, nor what others expect of
you. It is a much more fundamental question: It is to
answer the question Who am I? and What has God created
me for from eternity? Knowing what God wants from you is
not an easy question to answer, but asking this question
is a very important first step. God is always lovingly
ready to answer us. He talks through several means:
people, signs, situations in our life, but in a special
way He always speaks to us in the silence of our heart,
through prayer.
The question of your vocation is
directly related to the question of who you are.
Therefore, It is important that you deepen in the
knowledge of yourself and let God reveal your own
identity, because it is He who created you and only He
knows what vocation will fulfill you and make you happy.
Your calling is never an
imposition. On the contrary, it is an answer to the most
profound longings of your being. Therefore, the question
about your vocation is really a question about your
happiness, here and in eternity.
