Do you have the of a Shepherd?

How do I know if I have a Vocation? – The call to Religious Life

"What amazing things can be done through the strength of Love"
St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier


"I have surely seen the affliction of my people and have heard their cry, for I know their sorrows." Exodus 3: 7

God the light of trinity hears the cries
of His people in distress.

His people crushed

                                           by despair
                                           by rejection
                                           by loneliness


God inspires Mary Euphrasia to that call to respond to those cries.

                       Freely,
                              in the enlightened faith of God
                              in merciful tenderness
                              and the hope that nothing is impossible for God

she responded with an entire lifetime of zeal.

                   And throughout the world
                              on all five continents

                                   a bond of faith
                                   links as all people
                                   who are called by God
                                   to do Holy Work
                                   in the footsteps of
                                   Mary Euphrasia

with tenderness
hope and faith

to respond together
to the cries of the people
in distress

And the cries of distress can be heard through the media
                                                              and the current events.

                 The cries of human suffering are ever
                                  greater today!

                                                     The suffering
                                                              of our brothers and sisters all over the world
                                                                                          who are marginalized,
                                                                                          who are crushed, drowned                                                                                           like a torrent flowing
                                                                                          from all corners of the earth!

                          And the God of Light and Mercy,
                                   together with St. Marie Euphrasia,
                                        still inspires you and me,
                                                                          desires,
                                                                          needs,
                                                                          decisions
                                                     to respond to those cries, freely,
                                                                         in hope,
                                                                         in faith,
                                                                         in tenderness.

	What if, together, you and I and you... and you... Make a difference in the world, following in the footsteps of St M. Euphrasia!
		What if, together, you and I and you... and you... accepted this call from the God of mercy!
What if, together, you and I and you... and you... responded with his strength, his light, his spirit of love, to those cries of distress from our brothers and sisters throughout the world!


	What if that is the challenge facing us today! For you! For me! And you!...and you… TODAY!
