“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
We all are called to holiness, to be set apart for God and His service. God has a plan for each one of us. Therefore, He most definitely has a plan for your life. Just think of it- from all eternity before you were born, God loved you and brought you into being to share in His life, to be loved and to love.
How do we discover God’s unique and unrepeated plan for our lives and how do we live that plan to its fullness? By discerning His Will for us. Prayer, silence, and living a sacramental life keep us in a recollected spirit and open us to the presence and action of God in our lives.
Whether your vocation is to the religious life or not, we welcome you to take that leap of faith and enter into the great adventure of discovering His unique plan for your life. “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)
“Am I called? I am not worthy or holy enough." The old maxim applies, “God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.” "I have called you by name." (Isaiah 43:1) Discerning a vocation may seem overwhelming at times. We are here to listen and guide you throughout the discernment process. It takes time, lots of patience, guidance, and much prayer. We will pray for you and your vocation, especially for God’s strength and wisdom.
Our intention is not to recruit but to be God’s instrument in bringing people to Him by helping them see and understand the meaning and purpose of their lives, so that they may live their lives as God sees and desires it.
May the Lord bless you as you search and live out His Holy Will. Mary, Mother of Mercy and Our Mother. Pray for us!
“When you wonder about the mystery of yourself,
look to Christ Who gives you the meaning of life.” - St. John Paul II
Feel free to call or write to us with any questions you may have. We would be happy to help you in any way we can with the question of your vocation.
