JOYFULLY AND SERENELY
Booklet of 33 questions regarding vocations to the Religious
Life
Written by:
Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary
and Monsignor Charles M. Mangan
This booklet considers only a few
of the questions routinely posed regarding vocations to the
Religious Life.
The number thirty-three
corresponds to the sum total of years that Jesus Christ-the Origin and the
Goal of the Religious Life-lived here on earth.
Although this volume is geared especially toward those contemplating
the Religious Life, it also has relevance for those
pondering he Diocesan Priesthood, Secular Institutes, Societies of
Apostolic Life and the vocations to
Consecrated Virginity and the Eremetical Life, mutatis mutandis-the
necessary changes having been made.
The parents, family members and friends of those investigating these
diverse vocations
may also find some enlightenment herein.
Prayer to
Know Your Vocation
Lord God, You
Who are the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, how
marvelous is Your Name throughout all the earth.
I love You, O lord, my strength. Thank you for the vocation that You
have given to me. May I know, cherish and embrace it
as the special path for me to reach Heaven. Fortifies by the examples of
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
I will live my vocation joyfully and serenely. Grant
this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
