The Grace Of Knowing

[laetitia crucis]

Tomorrow (Friday Nov. 20) I will be flying to England for two weeks to visit a lovely community of sisters.

As someone who was once in religious life and is still pursuing her vocation to the religious life, I ask your prayers.

Earlier this month I was accepted to a beautiful order that I have been discerning with this year; however, as time has gone on since my summer visit, I am unsure if God is [i]really[/i] calling me there. I don't think I'm afraid to "take the plunge" with the community I've been accepted to (God knows how much I love them)... but I guess I do think I am afraid of spending additional time in a community that God may not want me in ultimately. I've been asking myself if entering there would really be what I want, instead of what God wants. (Then I think, "Well, what if He wants me there temporarily like He did with the other? I hope not...it's all too confusing.")

Basically, I just want to find the right community that God is calling me to. I desire the grace of [i]knowing[/i] -- that kind of [i]knowing[/i] that Mother Teresa and so many others speak of when they find "The One".

I pray for the grace of that [i]knowing[/i], whenever and wherever that may be.

Thank you.
