DISCOVERING VOCATION does not mean scrambling toward some prize just beyond my reach but accepting the treasure of true self I already possess. Vocation does not come from a voice 'out there' calling me to be something I am not. It comes from a voice 'in here' calling me to be the person I was born to be, to fulfill the original selfhood given me at birth by God.
-Fr. Thomas Merton, O.C.S.O (1915-1968)

Trang:
"After Jesus showered me with His merciful love and forgiveness, my heart was inflamed with joy, peace, and freedom because my soul has finally encountered the One for whom it has been seeking."
Thao Vy:
“Through a beautiful image during prayer, Jesus stretched out His hand like a friend and invited me to walk on a windy path that promised Eternal Life and Light.”
Lisa:
"My heart is restless unless it rests in you" (St. Augustine).
Truc:
“After many retreats, I have fallen for Jesus Christ on the cross. He revealed to me His everlasting love and showered abundantly upon me with His graces. With a hopeful heart, I chose the Lovers of the Holy Cross to seek further the divine truth of the One who died on the cross for me”.
Faustina:
"I said yes to Jesus because all the mini crosses I bear daily will never amount to the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross until I lay down my life for Him."
