You are in for an AWESOME treat! My dear sister Joyce Durosko, IHM, stars in this YouTube video. Sister Joyce talks about the wonderful mystery of being called to religious life. Are you a person who is open to being surprised … especially to a God who is full of surprises!? Sister Joyce offers great wisdom for people discerning religious life, including what to look for as you meet sisters and discern, try to figure out if they are “home” for you.

What questions or insights percolate as you watch and reflect on this video?

What advice is there for someone who feels this call later in life, who has already committed to marriage, had children but suddenly and consistently feels acall to religious life?

Loved Sister Joyce’s suggestions … Mystery, Surprises, Happiness and Much bigger than a Career.

Such a lovely message and quite inspiring!
