VOCATION

  Stop Worrying, Your Vocation is to Love 

The idea of discerning our vocation can cause a lot of anxiety. Wondering if we are called to be married, enter religious life, who we should date, if we should visit convents or try out seminary can be overshadowed by fear – fear that we'll do the wrong thing or that God will plant us somewhere that will make us miserable 

Vocations are sign of hope founded in faith. While this is true of all vocations, it is most certainly true of religious life. Renounce all things by faith to follow Christ and in the service of His Church and the World. In the homily at the mass of his initiation of the Petrine Ministry, Pope Francis said, “today too amid so much darkness we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others.” The congregation of Missionary Sisters of Mary Immaculate echoes the Pope’s words in inviting young women who love the Lord and His Church and desire to serve His people to discern a vocation within them. The Church and the world need good holy women who founded in faith are willing to answer the Lord’s call to be signs of hope as religious sisters. The Lord continues to call young people, “come and follow me”. The members of the MSMI pray that the more and more girls may hear the Lord’s call seeing their steadfast witness to the gospel, the companionship they offer one another, the cheerfulness with which they serve in their mission without counting the cost and the sincere welcome they openly offer the candidates who join them. Those who like to join the congregation may contact one of our vocation promoters around the world. They will assist you in discerning a vocation with Missionary Sisters of Mary Immaculate.
