1 Samuel 3:1-10 And the Lord came and stood forth, calling as at the other times,
“Samuel! Samuel” And Samuel said, “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.”
Replace Samuel’s name with your own!
FOR THESE THREE SISTERS IN SERVICE AT OUR LADY OF LOURDES NATIONAL SHRINE, ANSWERING GOD’S CALL HAS BEEN A BLESSING MANY TIMES OVER
Discernment? Lord is That Me You Are Calling?

What exactly is discernment? It can mean many things. In religious life, it is the process of making a choice to enter a religious community or not. There are a few
steps to that process.
The first step is establishing a relationship with God. How do you know someone if you don’t talk to them? Establish sometime during the day that you speak to God in prayer. Yes, that is God speaking to you. Scripture passages to help: Gen. 12:1-4, Ex.3:4-6, 1 Samuel 3:1-10, 1 Samuel 16: 12-13, Lk. 1:26-28, Lk.12: 22-26 LISTEN
Seek out a competent spiritual guide or director and share your relationship with God with that person. It helps if the person is a priest or religious. Be totally honest, an objective point of view will keep you on the right track. LISTEN, AGAIN AND ACT upon the advice given. (KEEP PRAYING)
Identify some communities to which you are attracted. Reach out to them, call them and visit. You can find them on your diocesan vocation website. There are many communities out there. Don’t limit yourself to only those communities who are most known. LISTEN, PRAY, ACT
FINALLY, DO NOT BE AFRAID! The above pointers are by no means the only way to discern. They just organize the process and help you to stop spinning your wheels.
I belong to the Order of the Sisters of the Most Holy Trinity. We will pray for you and even have a spot for you to come visit or stay if you like. May God guide you on your journey!
