A Capuchin Vocation
Contact A Vocation DirectorIn his first apostolic letter, Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis wrote, “Wherever there is life, fervor, and a desire to bring Christ to others, genuine vocations will arise.” The Holy Father added, “…the fraternal life and fervor of the community can awaken in the young a desire to consecrate themselves completely to God and to the preaching of the Gospel.”
It is not unusual for a man to wonder if he has a call to religious life. Being attentive to that wonder is the first step of discernment. Engaging others who can offer input and feedback is a wise step in the discernment process. Personal prayer, a conversation with God, is vital too. Each can be a source in offering clarity to your discernment.
