Prayer to Know One's Vocation

11/17/2018

O Great Saint Joseph

O Great Saint Joseph, you were completely obedient to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Obtain for me the grace to know the state of life that God in His providence has chosen for me. Since my happiness on earth, and perhaps even my final happiness in heaven, depends on this choice, let me not be deceived in making it. Obtain for me the light to know God's Will, to carry it out faithfully, and to choose the vocation which will lead me to a happy eternity. Amen.

Marks of a Religious Vocation

A spirit of sacrifice: an ability to give up lesser but more appealing goods for the greater, spiritual ones. ​

​A spirit of zeal: that special form of charity that inspires one to generously and joyfully bring all to know Jesus.

A spirit of detachment: the power that enables a person to be in the world but not of the world – the willingness to leave all in order to live for Christ alone.
​
A desire to be a religious, or a conviction that to enter the religious state is the surest way for one to glorify God and save souls​.

Characteristics of a Marian Sister

Our Community is young in years, but steeped in the Apostolic tradition of the Church. A young woman called to our way of life will be adventurous enough to greet the adaptations to the horarium and apostolates inherent in the founding of a new religious family with the joyful serenity of one deeply rooted in her identity as a daughter of the Church.

She will desire to blend the contemplative union with Jesus that Mary's life beautifully exemplifies, with humble self-sacrificing service of Christ and His people, striving to be Mary's hands and heart at work in the world.
She will be attracted to the ideal of working all for Jesus, all through Mary, at the heart of the Church, and will desire to be a unifying force at the heart of the Church through worshiping in both forms of the Latin Rite.
Picture
Ours is a deeply family spirit. Based on the rule of St. Augustine, the Sisters strive to pursue Truth through learning, and unity through charity. The young woman called to join this endeavor will have a strong family spirit and an appreciation for communal living.
In short, a young woman with a cheerful, flexible disposition who deeply loves the Church; a young woman with an abiding appreciation of the liturgy and a Marian spirituality, who has a sense of adventure and a strong family spirit, is a young woman who may have a call to join us in making visible the invisible reality of God's Infinite Love.
