| An Invitation-Jesuit Vocation Seminar | |
|
 Grace, they say, is the meeting of two desires: yours and God's. But too often, we do not take time out to know what it is we desire the most, what it is that we really want.And we take even less time to consider what God wants of us. We just copy what most of the world seems to be wanting: a comfortable house, a good-enough car, presentable clothes, a secure life. These are what we are led to pursue. We do not bother to check if they can really fulfill us, if they can really make us happy. And too often, we just equate being happy with having what we want. We forget that happiness entails not only getting what we want but going where we are most needed also. We hear about Jesuit Vocation Seminars, and we automatically say, That's not for me. I'm not made to be a priest nor a religious brother. But who knows? Give it a chance. Try it out. Take some time to think about what God may want of you. Who knows? It might be what you want most, as well. This has been a long enough sermon. But actually, it is just a description of what many Jesuits have gone through in discerning their vocations. Take one day off to try to find out what you truly desire, and what God desires of you. It will certainly be a day filled with grace. The Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus will hold a VOCATION SEMINAR for young professionals and college students this coming 22 November 2009 at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University Campus. It is free of charge. For inquiries, please call 991-0871 local 1515 or you may text 0917-JESUITS or 0928-554-4715. You may also e-mail : This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
