Signs of a Call to Religious Life

Some women hear God’s call clearly; others feel it in more subtle ways.

You may be experiencing His call if you experience these feelings:

Love of God that manifests itself in a desire to give one’s life as a witness to the immensity of God’s love for all people
A desire to live simply
An ability to relate with a variety of people, to be happy alone or in a group
Joy in serving others in any outreach or parish involvement
Generosity
The ability to listen to others and accept direction when needed
Desire to love expansively rather than needing an intimate relationship with one person
Desire to grow in union with God through prayer and service of the needy
