Reason #1

Falling completely in love With Jesus Christ!

Reason #2

Because the "still small voice" drowns out everything else in the universe.

Love the video.

Irishdancer,

That's a very profound statement. So very true. Thank you.

I dont have any profound reasons to become a religious. I cannot put my desire into words... it is not the same. I just know that when I see something like[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDo2RDK2rek&NR=1"]This[/url], I want to cry tears of joy and longing. God has called them to be His brides, they responded "Yes" and are filled with a transcendent joy. I want to respond "yes" to His call, to be His bride, to find peace in His love and joy in His service.

:love:

A sister once told me..."the pay at times is not much, but retirement is out of this world!" :topsy:

When I think of Christ loving me and how much He loves me, my heart burns with desire to love Him back. He has captivated my heart...that's for sure!

Oh how wonderfully wise!

Why choose marriage? Because you fall in love with someone.

Why choose religious life? Because you fall in love with someone - Our Lord.

When the soul falls in love with Jesus, then religious life just feels so right :love:

Because nothing else is enough, nothing else fulfills us, because in a spiritual sense there is no where else to go, because He calls us and like Mary we 'have' to say yes...because we God's creatures yearn for union with our creator...because of love - love calls us and faithful is the calling one - i tried so many times to run away but life 'outside' left me empty with a gaping hole inside that ached and even though life 'inside' can often be a challenge, this life makes me so much more complete and for me is the only way i can 'be'... because this is why i was created ... we don't choose this life He does, He calls us and we choose to respond or not and He love us either way, Pax sr marie-terese

Because He called and that was the place where my heart belonged. Anywhere else always had something missing. "Follow to your happiness in the way He shows." Four decades of profession have shown that to be true, over and over again. Praise Him.
