Here's What to Remember!

• God grants our desires beyond what we imagine!
• Novitiate as "The School of Jesus Christ; The School of Happiness" - Mother Rivier
• How does God call? In the stuff of our lives.
• Listening for the call is being attentive to what is happening around you. The Lord is forming you to make a future commitment.
• We need to "listen to our lives" as God works in the present.
• Ask the Lord for help, He will put people in our lives that will open the door to our vocation - it is the treasure box in the field! It's worth everything! - Matthew 13:44
• Never be afraid to ask the question to young people, "Do you want to be a sister/priest, etc?" - often, they are looking for someone to talk to about it!
• Be attentive to our desires; do they bring what we want them to bring? "Where your heart is; there is your treasure." Matthew 6:21
