Questions to Ask Yourself When Determining a Missionary Vocation

The following list of questions is meant to help you determine whether or not you have a calling to enter the religious life as a priest or brother.

Do I recognize God's loving, healing, forgiving Presence in my own life? Am I therefore challenged to reflect God's love to others?


Do I have an interest in and/or commitment to making Jesus known to those who have not yet heard of Him?


Do I have an interest in and/or commitment to working for the full development of the peoples of the world?


Do I have an interest in and an ability for serving people in a way that enables their growth?


Do I have an interest in and an ability for going beyond my own language and culture?


Do I have an interest in and an ability for dialoguing with people of other faiths and convictions?

Reflection of the Week

Fr. Mike Miller, MSCFr. Mike Miller, MSC (Pastor of St. Therese Parish in Aurora, IL) reflects on St. Mary Magdalene, drawing from his experiences in Bogotá, Colombia where part of his ministry included working with Fundación Vida Nueva (New Life Foundation), an organization which works with prostitutes and their children to break the cycle of prostitution. Each of us, no matter what our background is, can be transformed by Jesus' presence like Mary Magdalene was.
