God is calling us to be saints

meganobridges — 2015-05-11 02:53:12 UTC

God calls us to be saints because he wants us to love him, be filled with his love, and love other people. He wants us to become the best versions of us we can be.

Priesthood

Priest promises to pray certain prayers each week, he also promises obedience to his bishop, and he promises to stay single his whole life.

Chris and Dave Carls

Chris and Dave inspired me because they stayed together through a very hard time in their relationship. They made me think about what they said about the vows and how it says, "in sickness and in health," and how powerful that is. Also they said that they were a "we" and not just she or he and they were in it together. They reminded me that you have to always stay together no matter what.

Religious community

Religious priests, brothers, nuns, and sisters live out their lives in prayer and service. They make special vows to love and serve God, for the rest of their lives.

I grow in holiness by...

I can grow in holiness by doing community service, alter serving, helping around my house, following the ten commandments, and treating others the way you would want to be treated.

Vocation

meganobridges — 2015-05-11 02:53:12 UTC

The best way to find your vocation is through prayer, look at all the possibilities, and also do life don't wait for your vocation go out and find it.

Single

meganobridges — 2015-05-11 02:53:12 UTC

God is calling us right now to be single because we need to know how to love your family and friends and make the right choices first. We need to respect everyone and God wants us to help out the community and become critical thinkers- to step back from the image and look behind it to see what the real image is.

Love

meganobridges — 2015-05-11 02:53:12 UTC

Lust is the opposite of love. You should love someone as a person and use objects. Chastity helps balance out love and how we use it.

Marriage

meganobridges — 2015-05-11 02:53:12 UTC

A man and women make vows to each other to live faithfully for the rest of their lives. A man and women are united through God. Which they should live each day with these vows and give God glory and also grow in holiness.

God is calling me

meganobridges — 2015-05-13 04:17:52 UTC

I'm not sure what God is calling me to be yet, but I would love to be a stay at home mom. I'm scared if God is calling me to be a nun/sister, but we have learned so much about them that I learn that they aren't just old grumpy ladies. Most sisters and nuns aren't old and grumpy instead they are filled with joy and want to spread the good news of Christ.

Why am I excited to listen to my vocation?

meganobridges — 2015-05-13 04:25:04 UTC

I'm excited to listen to my vocation because God laid out my life and yours and I want to do want God planned. Even though it is our life we need to remember that God gave us our life and we need to be thankful that we have this life and do what God said to do and not just what we want.

Fears?

meganobridges — 2015-05-13 04:31:59 UTC

I have many fears that if God calls me to something I don't really want to do I might second guess God and what he wants for me. But, I know God would never ask me to do something that I wasn't able to do.

Following God's call

meganobridges — 2015-05-13 04:44:17 UTC

I think it is very important to listen to God's call because he made us all for one purpose and he wants us to fulfill our vocation.
