Hey, are you a good listener? This one is for you. So, praying is the first thing somebody decides when entering religious life. As you pray, you seek advice. Don’t keep it to yourself. I repeat, don’t keep it to yourself. Samuel, he had this call. He wasn’t sure, but he thought he was guessing. “Maybe it is Eli.” Eli told Samuel, saying, “Speak, Lord; your servant is listening.” And that’s when we pray, asking the Lord what you want of me. Are you calling me to this life? So, if you are guessing that the Lord is calling you, go to those who can direct you. And when you’re seeking advice, seek advice from those who know. And when they give you the advice, you follow it. Keep praying and asking for discernment, and things may be more straightforward. Follow the direction of the Holy Spirit. Now, start praying.

Yearning For God

And suddenly, it is clear that this person is about to die. Saint Augustine said, “We yearn for the Lord.” That yearning for God may come fully to you. At that moment, you have no more hope of anything other than the God who made you, who you are…

Give Out of Love
If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned but have not love, I gain nothing. We are encouraged to give alms to sacrifice for others. Is it just to boost? No. We are to do it out of love. Sharing with others gives them great joy, but if you are just doing it for doing sake and you don’t do it out of love and care and…
