Where are you on your journey? As travelers pause at times to get their bearings, they stop to notice what is around them and where they are on the path. Take some time to consider the following:

  • What do you care deeply about?

  • How do you want to use the precious gift of your life?

  • What are some ways you could make a difference in the world?

  • What makes you feel alive?

  • Where have you found meaning in your life?

  • What are the deeper questions in your life?

  • Where do you find God leading you?

Your response to these questions can help you discover more about yourself and your life’s purpose.

Everyone has a vocation. A vocation or call is a gift from God that allows us to live fully who we are called to be. For some it is marriage, for others it is the single life; some will become permanent deacons, while still others are called to the priesthood and/or religious life. Each state is graced and calls us to put our gifts at the service of God and others. Each of us must respond according to God's call for us.
