Many
young adults, when considering religious life, think they
must choose EITHER a religious vocation OR a career. THIS
IS NOT TRUE! You can become a sister AND a doctor; you don't
have to choose between the two.

In Joyful Service
God calls each person in a
particular way. This uniqueness is part of the beauty and
sometimes the confusion in wondering whether God is calling
me. Be assured that God’s hope for our lives will only
lead us to our truer self and will be made visible by a deepening
inner freedom and sense of joy as we respond with the gift
of our lives to God’s love for us.
How do I know if becoming a sister
is right for me?
Reflect upon the following
questions to help guide you in sorting out whether becoming
a sister might be a pathway that God is inviting you to take.
Do you experience a love of God and others?
Are you willing to be open to how the Spirit is leading
you?
Do you enjoy serving others?
Are you willing to give generously of your time and talent?
Do you experience a desire for prayer?
In general, do you have a wholesome attitude, able to
take life in stride and express a sense of humor?
If these questions speak to your heart,
Continue to bring your desire to God in prayer.
Share your reflections with someone who knows you and
understands the vocation of being a sister.
