Called, But Not Yet Certain

A guide to vocational discernment for the Canons Regular of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

There is a peculiar feature of a genuine vocation: it does not wait to be convenient.

Newman captured something of this when he wrote of God creating each person to do "some definite service" that no other can do in quite the same way.
