VOCATION NETWORK FOR CATHOLIC VOCATIONS

VISION - A publication that helps vocation discerners discover their life's calling, whether they are interested in consecrated life, ie., as becoming a nun, brother, priest, or monk or simply looking for ways to deepen your faith through volunteer and service opportunities

WHAT IS OUR REAL VOCATION?

"OUR DEEPEST CALLING IS TO GROW

INTO OUR AUTHENTIC SELVES..."

that is to say,

OUR REAL VOCATION IN LIFE

is "TO BE IN THE PLACE"

where "OUR DEEP GLADNESS"

meets the "WORLD'S NEEDS."

-Frederick Buechner-

"Clear our heart, O God,

that we may see you.

Clear our heart, O God

that we may truly see ourselves.

Clear our heart, O God,

that we may see the sacredness

of this moment and in every moment.

Seek you, serve you and strengthen you

as a Living Presence in every presence.

Clear our heart, O God, that we may see."

-John Phillip Newell, PRAYING WITH THE EARTH: A PRAYER BOOK FOR PEACE
