How can you know if God is calling you to religious life?

"I HAVE CALLED YOU BY NAME"

  • God calls each of us to live in love with him. We live that love in marriage or single life, in priestly or religious life.
  • A call to religious life can start with a sense of emptiness and a need for something more in life or an attraction to a life of deeper prayer and community.   You may know someone in religious life and feel attracted to that way of life.
  • You may feel a call but do not really want to go there!  Perhaps it is not what you had planned for your life.  You may feel unworthy of a call to religious life.
