It's difficult to put into words fully what the experience was like personally. For me, it was both an experience of intense sisterhood and also an encounter with God. It was at once deeply communal and deeply personal.

Gaudete et Exsultate is about a call to personal holiness, about finding God in practical ways in everyday life, by doing ordinary things. The entirety of life is mission--how do you see your life as a mission from God?

A stranger in a strange land, Sister Scholastica struggled with her vocation until she experienced an epiphany.

While it might not seem possible, a woman can pursue just about any ministry as a Benedictine Sister. Proof of this: Sister Elaine Fischer.

At a point along my discernment journey, I was given the advice, “It’s not a career question, Maria, it’s a vocation question.”
