Our Path
Discerning Our Path to Serve God
Discernment is the process we all use to try to figure out what God wants us to do. Usually when we use the word discernment, we are talking about which vocation, or path, God has planned for us. For example, is He calling you to married life, single life, or religious life?
In Rule for a New Brother, H. van der Looy describes the call to a religious life in this way:
Following Jesus does not mean slavishly copying His life. It means making His choice of life your own starting from your own potential and in the place where you find yourself.
