A Christmas present! Watch our new video and hear the words of Pope Benedict XVI to youth about the courageous way to follow Christ exclusively.
Video script: “Just as two thousand years ago Jesus called people to follow Him, today too young men and women are setting out at His call, attracted by Him and moved by a desire to devote their lives to serving the Church and helping others. They have the courage to follow Christ, and they want to be His witnesses…. following Christ means taking on ever more fully His mind and His way of life.” (Pope Benedict XVI, September 8, 2007)

What Kind of Life?
Do you wonder, “To what kind of life is God calling me?” or “How can I know God’s will?” or “Am I being called to religious life?”
These are questions that many single persons ask themselves, and struggle with. Jesus Christ desires that all of His followers live life to the full. He said, “I have come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). To hear God’s voice, we first must listen. To listen, we must be silent, and to practice the art of prayer.
Take our “7 Quick Questions” survey (opens in a new window) and see whether you might have a religious vocation.
A recent video of the Dominican Sisters encourages young women to think about how God’s vocation for them is already budding in their hearts.
The video, “Let God’s Call for Your Life Flower as a Dominican Sister,” has been viewed nearly 2,000 times since it was launched one month ago on Gloria TV.
The one-minute video features classical religious pictures as well as photos of professions of the Dominican Sisters. The video can be seen at left.
Video Text
In God’s eyes, your life stretches between a promise and its fulfillment, a promise from before you were born and the fulfillment that is still in your hands. The Scripture clearly shows that both correspond perfectly.
Following the footsteps of Abraham of years ago, and his faith journey, you need to explore how God speaks to your heart and what is, in fact, the “promised land” for your life’s journey.
The promise of your life’s vocation already buds in your heart. Will you let it blossom to completion? Time and again God reassured Abraham to trust unfailingly and to proceed confidently until the goal was achieved.
Visit the Dominican Sisters of the Immaculate Conception and discover that God also speaks to your heart, and that His plans are full of peace and purpose.
