Have you ever felt that God is calling you closer to him? Has that scared you in any way? What fears are holding you back?

Have you ever considered a call to the Religious Life? To belong entirely to Christ? If not, why not? If you don’t open you ears, how will you know if the Lord is calling?

Have you ever read St. Therese of Lisieux’s autobiography Story of a Soul? If not, today is your day.

Give it chance to have an impact on you.
