Listening, asking are first steps
by Sister Laura Zelten
 Each vocation -- marriage, religious life,
ordination, single life -- is a call to community, holiness of life
and service to others. No vocation is better than another, but each
has its own specific signs, qualities
and skills. Discerning a vocation is
the beginning of making a commitment.
As Vocation Director for our Community I am in contact with
women interested in religious life. I realize it is not easy to
take the first step toward such a commitment. I invite you learn
more about God's unique call for you and ask questions at any of
the the upcoming events.
Be assured, our lives as religious women are made rich by God's
love, the love of our Sisters and the love of those whom we
serve.
Sister Laura is a native of De Pere, a long-time educator
and is bilingual. Catch more of Sister Laura's weekly musings on her blog.
She's also a great conversationalist -- and a wonderful listener.
