Food For Thought: Vocations

Happy Friday, Ladies!
I thought that today, as the week is coming to a close, I would share some quotes that I found really thought provoking and good for reflection. Our theme so far this week has been vocations, since we are getting ready for our big event, "Redefining Vocations" this Sunday. So here are some quotes that shed some light on what vocations truly are:

"When you wonder about the mystery of yourself, look to Christ, who gives you the meaning of life. When you wonder what it means to be a mature person, look to Christ, who is the fulfillment of humanity. And when you wonder about your role in the future of the world look to Christ."
-Pope John Paul the Great

"The things that we love tell us what we are." -St. Thomas Aquinas
"Every Woman who wants to fulfill her destiny must look to Mary as the ideal"
-Saint Edith Stein

"We are born to love, we live to love and we will die to love still more."
-St. Joseph Cafasso

"The vocation of a woman is to suffer and to love."
-St. Teresa of Avila

I know some of these quotes don't seem to be directly related to the theme of vocations, but I challenge you to take a closer look at them, take them to prayer and see what God wants to tell you about vocations.

Feel free to leave your thoughts or reflections in the comments section, we would love to hear from you :)

In Christ's Love,
