Have you ever had the experience of being called to something and had Jesus call you away from it? The answer is probably yes, but one of the hardest places this can happen in with respect to vocations. It's not that uncommon...and it's even a very healthy sign...for men or women to "discern out" of the seminary or consecrated life.

We speak about what it's like to walk alongside someone close to us who is going through difficulties in life.

Even though pretty much everyone has been knocked down by loneliness at some point in their lives, when we're deep in it, loneliness can make us feel ... well, completely alone! We hope that in sharing our experiences of loneliness, along with a few things we've learned, and found beneficial, we might help combat some of the lies that get thrown around when these particular blues hit! 

Loneliness can feel like an interior battle, and if you're fighting that battle right now, know that we are praying for you!
