What is Your Calling?

[ShannonMcCatholic]

I know!

I know the kind of Mum that I want to be, I have a picture in my head of how I ought to have responded (after the event) to any incident or squabble or annoyance..and then I vow to react differently the next time, and yet I respond in the same short- tempered, exasperated, intolerant, manner. I loathe that I am so completely inadequate.

Lord, have Mercy!

God bless

I know exactly what you mean! Thank goodness God is infinitely patient-- I need it!

Shakkai- no I do not remember a distinct calling to motherhood. And I had quite an angry row with God about this- that I got backed into this whole thing-- He reassured me that this is my vocation, it doesn't matter how I got here.

I do feel distinctly called to midwifery, however, just not for a decade or so....

I'm currently discerning a vocation to religious life. First and foremost, I intend to get a decent education - do an undergraduate degree in Catholic studies, and then (fingers crossed!) go on to do a masters of theological studies (or a masters of divinity, depending on how I feel). It is very difficult to figure out where it is God is calling me, but this is something that I have felt deep down for a long time, even when I wasn't ready to accept it yet. More than anything, I am simply willing to do His will and to go where He calls me so that I might be a speaker of His Truth.

ND- I think the true difficulty for me is that I do not have any sensible feeling or experience in how God loves me. I cannot give that love, because I am so mangled and broken.

I believe in how God loves me, I seek to discover Him ever more in the Eucharist, I desire to be consumed by His love to set others ablaze....

I just will continue on- and seek forgivness in the wrongs I do- and beg Jesus to make it all even better than if I never messed up in the first place....

Me, I have the same calling I've been talking about for the past year on here. After a phsychaitric examination by Fr. Groeschel (to make sure i'm crazy enough), I will probably be entering the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

Rock on, my brother! And I'll be in my Carmel (that's what I call my little falling down house) praying for you!!

I don't know. I've sort of bounced from thing to thing in my life seemingly without purpose. This would bother more than it does but I've met with so much success do it that I can only think that I was meant to take on tasks as they need doing.

Maybe I was just meant to lead projects.

I've stopped thinking about it and just believe that where I'm at is where God wants me.

So I'm happy with it.

I grew up thinking that I would get married and have a family. God did not provide the circumstance for that to happen. So I am called to the universal call to holiness that we are all called to. One way in which I live that is to be a suffering soul. Every trial that I face, both large and small, I offer up to God for the salvation of souls, in reparation for my own sins and the sins of others, and for the release of the souls in purgatory.

... sometimes I think my calling is to get the truth out there about birth control.
