We have a need for more vocations to religious life.<br /><br />It is difficult for a young (or not so young) person to come in contact with others that might be discerning whether they have a vocation to religious life. This blog is meant to bring them together to discuss their feelings and desires and to ask questions of one another.<br /><br />A vocation is a call from God to do something specifically for God and his kingdom. The primary vocation of every person is to serve God, to obey his commandments, and to cooperate with Christ in the work of redemption by loving and serving others. Everyone is called to live the vocation of holiness, but everyone lives it in a unique way according to the plan of God. God calls some to the vocation of marriage, some to a vocation of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">single</span> life, and others to the vocation of priesthood or of religious <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">brothers</span> or sisters.<br /><br />If you feel the Holy Spirit tugging at your heart, why not join in this blog to exchange thoughts and feelings with others in similar situations. You are not alone. The important thing is to keep an open heart. "If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1590124104563640667-3140218040039847199?l=discerningreligiousvocations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fisherofmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14018833860014001747noreply@blogger.com11
