"I will give you shepherds after my own heart ..."

At different stages of his life, man must ask the question: "Is that God's eyes do not cross mine? "The answer to this question depends the future of our soul. A religious vocation is above all a call from God to his creatures, Events trigger. They can not come to the seminar by saying "I want to be a priest" by leakage of the world or family tradition it is only God who comes to lead, as he did with St. Paul on the Damascus road.

• At any time, you remain free to say no, but many who had been called and had not responded by engaging in marriage have developed a disappointment / bitterness, they were excellent fathers family. There is no love forced, I can not be sure of my choice because I remain 100% free, but what I am certain is that only the intended Religious provides the perfect Love. That once I said yes I am sure of my choice.


• The vocation of marriage is inherent to our human nature, so it's a vocation because it usually requires no special appeal; religious vocation is her extraordinary. When fiance said, "is the woman of my life," he is wrong because it does not know all the women in the world! However, as a religious person who committed the fact for ever, for better or for worse.


• response to a call of this type requires the person who receives a certain structure Scouting gives personal example (especially the road, which requires a spiritual father and a mentor-guide). A strong personality, maturity, benchmarks. The spiritual father can give a different perspective on yourself, instead of parents who put the emotional side first. Prayer also gives time to place themselves under the gaze of God, to make a heart to heart with God. Prayer is a glass of water in the desert, each received a different glass of Heaven, let's fill it. Do not compare yourself to others, everyone has his glass, each vocation.


• Priests Married Oriental churches can not serve two masters at once, and this poses many challenges to these churches. The real joy is the gift of self. Give everything, keep nothing for himself. Chinese clandestine seminarians who did not have prison-say-no "completed their training. "To experience the night of faith as Mother Theresa and last until the end. Being faithful without experience.


• The unity of life, it is found in being faithful to what we believe. Do not be tempted by the devil, do not let her feel bad propensities : An alcoholic should not come in a bar, even to drink a lemonade! Christ does not ask us more than we can hold / support. The Christian ought to know, love each other with qualities and flaws, know your limits and not exceed them.

We are unique individuals and small masterpieces in power. For us to complete the puzzle of our lives by working on oneself in the service of others in the twilight of our lives, the final image will appear more beautiful than we have fulfilled our calling.

A big thank you to Cyril our CG for this summary.
