Weekend Wonderings

Last night we had the "Dinner with the Archbishop," which is a time for young people throughout the diocese to come and perhaps begin to explore the idea of a religious vocation. Different religious communities had displays for the guests to look at, and at dinner, they had all of us clergy and religious folk scattered throughout at different tables so there would be opportunities for conversation. After we finished eating, there was a panel of about six different priests and sisters; each of whom shared a little bit of their vocation stories, and how they came to be where they are today. Very entertaining, since so many of the stories revolve around the idea of "No way I'm gonna be a priest/nun!"

While sharing vocation stories could be interesting, I figure I'll hold off on that one for perhaps a long weekend -- since those are probably more involved, that way I could give you all a bit more time. In the meantime, though ....

How does God speak to you?

How do you know what God wants of you?

Of course, these presume that you know ...

... but DO you?

Or ... do you just take it on faith and hope for the best?

Happy Weekend. May it be filled with beautiful weather and magnificent colors!
