I’m 75, soon to be 76, and was on a retreat with a religious order that I felt called to in June. I’m a widow and have been praying to know if God was calling me to the religious life. At the end of the retreat I was invited to enter, and fully intended to enter after the first of the year. But…after visiting a grandson who is going through a divorce and my 3 great-grandsons this month, I feel called to move from CA to his state to help with these precious little boys. I’m praying this is God’s will for my life.
Loving your family and being a support in this critical time will bless their whole lives-down seven generations! The destruction of lives through divorce is a common tragedy that breaks lives. You will be a great, great blessing to them.
@marleneriley2111 many in your family will be blessed by your faithful example. No divorce in my family growing up, but I think I wouldn’t have left Catholic faith if I had someone who could have faithfully, patiently communicated the faith to me like you are doing in your family💜
Please pray for me as I discern a career change. I have taken the first “rules” prescription to update my resume, become more vocal on job sites, and other baby steps.
wow, the points about the healing in your vocation and transparency w/ others in discernment are so good. I have made some mistakes in discernment recently and it all came down to a need for transparency. I have been praying about my vocation and felt a nudge a few days ago (probably my guardian angel) to pray to St Raphael for healing. I am so glad I also listened to the nudge to watch this! Thank you sister!
I made enquiries into the priesthood myself. I held back in revealing how strongly I truly felt towards this vocation. Priests themselves commented to me that I have a vocation.That was ten years ago. With the changes that have happened over the years, I see it as the biggest mistake I never made. Maybe there is still a vocation to discern. I just don't know. Right now, after the incredible ordeals I've been put through, I'm surprised that I still have faith. All I can do is pray, talk to God.
Thank you for the insight on the questions you covered! You have such an authentic love for your vocation and it shows! I love the prayer at the end about using technology properly!
I remember when I was first introduced to Mother Natalia it was on PWA when she was still a sisters and did not yet have the title of Mother. Man you have been doing great stuff!! You're an absolute gem with your advice and words! God bless you!!
I literally gave it all to God TODAY concerning the discerning of my vocation. that he will guide me the right way, thank you ! Our Lord works through this channel so much ! Viva Cristo Rey !
Rules: 1. Don't become paralized ➜ take steps, be proactive, don't be afraid of going to a "come and see" or going on a date. 2. Don't think your struggles will go away ➜ they don't disappear once you enter your vocation, the Lord will help you carry them. 3. Don't try to trick yourself or others ➜ be transparent, be open. Trust your spiritual director and your vocational director.
Very useful information and guidance. Presently discerning marriage with my boyfriend, and I can see the parallels between discerning marriage and religious life. I will listen to anything else that you produce on this topic
Mother Natalia's comments regarding using your choice of vocation as a point of escapism is quite important. Many people choose an act of religious devotion as means to evade that which troubles them, instead of using such devotion as a means to get close to God. We should never use a prayer or vocational choice as a drug that provides catharsis from that which ails us, or a means to numb us to the harshness of reality.

`the vocatio n in which you enter is supposed to be healing for you.` finally somebody is pointing this out. I am so tired of hearing how marriage is not a place for healing and how you should heal first.
Tell me about it. Im 26 and still havent met a good woman and I am worried. Every relationship attempt I have tried to make hasnt worked out for me at all lately. I know God is in control but that has me worried that I will never meet the right one.
@@MB_Biggie_CheeseSame, although I am 25 and have never dated a girl and so I am a virgin. Now I am struggling a bit knowing if priesthood/consecrated life is for me
@@karlheven8328 do you genuinely want to be a priest or a monk or have the same fear that I do? Because I genuinely dont want to be a priest or a monk and worry I have that vocation just because I havent met the right woman yet and all my other relationship attempts have failed. Are you working out and taking care of yourself?
@@MB_Biggie_Cheese I am in a special situation because I am only catholic since December last year. I made a very conscious decision to convert from German Lutheranism to Catholicism after 1 year of reading and 2 years going to mass. So I am very militant about Church affairs and generally interested in history and THEOLOGY. However I have to finish my law studies first where I kind of got.stuck for 1 year after studying since 6 years (not unusual, average is 5-6 years though). I am a bit depressed about life as a lawyer and the life that comes with that which will not change my attractiveness. I am fit but not jacked, 178 cm and 63 kg so pretty slim, maybe a bit too slim. But arguably I invested too much energy into religious matters/knowledge. I will finish my studies because I have to but mentally I can hardly imagine doing a job I feel I only would do in order to attract women anyways. (I am an only child and my father is a very successful lawyer, yet I do not see myself as doing what he does). Now I kind of feel like I need a woman to provide me with emotional support until I finish my studies and then I can further make a decision.😅
@@MB_Biggie_Cheese Honestly I am scared more by commitment to a bad marriage. This fundamentally scares me: Having to settle with a woman that gives you hell or gives you a bad time, aka. having higher expectations of me than I do for her.
What I don't understand is... what is the point of having a plan in your life if God does not reveal it to you? I am already 48 and still have no clue what my life purpose and God's plan are for my life, which drives me crazy, as I ask Him every day about it. Any help?
I'm not sure if this will help but maybe you are in your vocation or state of life that God wants. I think sometimes our expectations of what our life should unconsciously gets in the way to see clearly God's plan, to accept it or to follow it. Maybe stop praying for it for a while, maybe He is calling you to trust in Him more, to blindly surrender to Him, to believe in Him that whatever you do it is His will, His plan. We don't need to be doing something specific or 'big' or Important to say that we are fulfilling God's plan for our lives. I hope this helped in a way.
Im currently discerning religious life and will be entering in the autumn time. Let me tell you what I have learned so far. “What if God does not reveal it to you?” If you haven’t actively discerned then this could be why. It was only after I visited convents that I knew what God wanted from me. It was a slow progress really, my vocation built up over time. But you need to obviously pray a lot but also get out there and actively discern. I promise this will make things all the clearer, don’t date and discern priesthood or religious life at the same time. Put aside a year to actively discern, visit a few places. If you still don’t know then just enter somewhere and if it doesn’t work out then thats it. Ask God to make it abundantly clear what He wants you to do. O Lord do with me what Thou wilt! I will pray for you! God bless you
He doesn't appear to his faithful sheep has often. he appears to his lost sheep and i was one of them ...If your soul is not in danger or you have extreme distress he may not appear to you.

Bro I am 26 and still not married to a good woman and want to meet the right woman already. All my relationship attempts have failed and I am getting really worried that I never will meet the right one. I dont want to be a priest or monk or a permanent bachelor. I live in the US.
@@MB_Biggie_Cheese it's very tough out there for singles at the moment. I'm a 34 yo woman, and I started dating my boyfriend eight months ago. Prior to that point, I had essentially given up. At 26, I was single as heck with no prospects on the horizon. It was really stressful. Once I got past 30, it was easier. That's because past 30, I gave up and started worrying about other things

One thing that may help people is meta meditation... You are not your feelings, or body, or compulsions, or addictions, memories, or sufferings... You are AWARENESS. Everything else may touch you, Awareness, but those things are Not-You. Be fully honest in full self awareness and other awareness and spiritual awareness. Typical singular awareness practice focuses on the heartbeat, the steps of breathing, or quieting noisy thoughts.
@@caseygina3553 no new age, actually very old truth. YOU are Awareness. The first thing you are aware of is self Awareness, then thoughts, memories, heart beat, breathing, body, cold, warm, pain etc. But all you were, are, or ever be is Awareness.
Is there any advice you can give for a male who is discerning a celibate unconsecrated life? It seems like there isn’t much to do like say being married and having kids or becoming a priest and celebrating mass and all that. Women have consecrated virginity, but no such thing exists for men.
@@MB_Biggie_Cheese Also, for many men it's not a matter of want. Women don't want to get married and we WILL not accept the sloppy seconds who convert when they are thirty.
I think of it differently. I used to watch all these videos on discernment, talking things through, “is it rational” all of that. What I have come to realize is that God will give you the next step. We dance around the reality that God already told us what’s next. And when we don’t act on it, it still stays in our mind. It’s not going anywhere. There’s so much suffering there. Instead of using our minds for “how can I may it happen” we try to rationalize our negatives over God when we know it’s a good thing and it might be a little scary or entail suffering. Take the step, and the next step will be revealed. You got nothing to lose cause it’s just going to stay in your brain anyway.

It's not difficult at all discovering what God wants from you. Here's the rule. Ask him. He will not withold andwering an earnest pray. 1 God will always tell you what is best for you. He wants you to be happy. Don't think because his answer is too good to be true...it's not. That happiness is God given. Don't over think. Again just ask. God will always answer. Always. Always . Always. There are millions who never ask Him. So he definitely won't ignore those who do. Ask and an answer will always be given. Always.😊😊😊😊😊

It seems in this community, the main apostlate is the Nun/Bride::Jesus/Bridegroom relationship. No teaching. No nursing. Sticking with "basic nunnning". Back to Early Church basics!
Each order is different and the church has raised up different orders throughout the centuries for the churches and worlds needs. Some are called to live a more contemplative life while others aren’t. Carmelites and Benedictines etc would be the same, very contemplative. Deo Gratias for the diversity God gave us! Gods will for each person is all that matters!
Such a blessing that through his Word and sacred Tradition, God has revealed his ways to us and calls us to learn of Him, become one with Him, and to know Him. I'm grateful to God that I can know how He works by following the commandments and teachings He has given His children

Sadly marriage and kids are not easily reversible..The others are yes. But they take vows too, so it shouldn't be lightly. But they are progressive.

There are millions who never ask Him. So he definitely won't ignore those who do.
Ask and an answer will always be given.
Always.😊😊😊😊😊
Bro I am 26 and still not married to a good woman and want to meet the right woman already. All my relationship attempts have failed and I am getting really worried that I never will meet the right one. I dont want to be a priest or monk or a permanent bachelor. Im lonely and worried. My works have failed and my prayers to meet the right person havent been answered. I feel stuck in this.
😊
That is useful to me, and not to you. I'm a hermit, you live in a community... The other thing is useful to both of us...!!
Did you take up a name when you were ordained? You did take up something, right?? Read about their own lives and struggles. :)
It seems in this community, the main apostlate is the Nun/Bride::Jesus/Bridegroom relationship. No teaching. No nursing. Sticking with "basic nunnning". Back to Early Church basics!
Each order is different and the church has raised up different orders throughout the centuries for the churches and worlds needs. Some are called to live a more contemplative life while others aren’t. Carmelites and Benedictines etc would be the same, very contemplative. Deo Gratias for the diversity God gave us! Gods will for each person is all that matters!
Mmm - yet another RUclipsr who claims to know "how God works." “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.” (Isaiah, 55:8)
Such a blessing that through his Word and sacred Tradition, God has revealed his ways to us and calls us to learn of Him, become one with Him, and to know Him. I'm grateful to God that I can know how He works by following the commandments and teachings He has given His children
Damn she beautiful.
Strive for purity in speech, brother.
