What am I to do with who I've become? Listening to one's vocation

Discerning a life stage or an important choice

  • Rediscovering breath in one's commitments
  • Re-choosing one's priorities and what is essential
  • The invitation to change sometimes comes from within (aspirations or unease...), sometimes from challenging events.
  • Let us take these signs seriously in order to engage in a re-reading of the "guiding thread" of our lives and welcome the new stage, for a renewed faithfulness to ourselves and to God.
  • Listening to one's vocation, for a new stage of life
