#vocations
Earlier this week, a group of young women from Lexington, NE joined us for a few days to learn about our monastic life. They shared our prayer, work, and play while hearing stories of sisters’ discernment and joy. Before leaving, the ladies gifted us with this art illustrating their favorite quote from their time at the monastery.
The Good Shepherd, who laid down his life for his sheep, is risen. Alleluia! ~Easter Antiphon
As the Church celebrates Good Shepherd Sunday, join us in celebrating the 56th World Day of Prayer for Vocations and interceding that more women and men offer their joyful “YES” to the Lord.
“I am not worthy of the call,” or we might think of all our sinfulness and think that we don’t deserve to be called. We might think that we are not smart enough or capable to do God’s mission. However, it is God who calls us and gives us the strength to follow Him. The call is something we cannot understand. That is why it is a mystery. All we can say as Mary did is: “Let it be with me according to Thy word.”
