St. Thérèse believed that Carmelite nuns are called to spiritual motherhood and to form Gospel workers who will save many souls. Do you know a woman who is called to join this mission by becoming a Carmelite nun? Visit our blog!

#Carmelite #vocation

A quotation from Vonnegut, Kurt, Jr.:

«««««
If you want to really hurt your parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way of making a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable.

"Only about 5% of people have a real vocation in life, and they confuse the hell out of the rest of us."

Only half of #US #Protestant pastors are “very satisfied” in their current #vocation, and two-thirds feel less confident about their #ministry calling than they did when they began to pastor a #church.

Teaching this week, for the first time after a stretch of doing other things for my university. I had forgotten just how much this means to me: standing in front of the students, I and Thou, inviting them to let the subject speak. This is the one thing I do absolutely right, and boy am I fortunate to be able to pursue my vocation as my actual work. Tears of gratitude. Next time I complain about life, remind me of this.

Von Kämpfelbach nach Varanasi, Orissa, India - wieder haben gespendete Laptops und Tablets ihren Weg gefunden.
Vielen Dank den involvierten Spendern und Flugpaten. Michael plant vor Ort den Aufbau einer Berufsschule, sodass weitere IT-Spenden in Indien gebraucht werden.

Nooooo! Finally reading #Beer52's #Ferment magazine and discovered that I missed out on #Vocation's chocolate and chilli stout, because they packed at least two beers that don't match the #beer list in the magazine 😞

“This is our ultimate vocation, our fundamental call from God, the crown that we cannot offer Christ but that Christ offers us; not to do, but to *be* love.”

New posting! This asks whether #science #careers in #academia have evolved from a hobby, to a #vocation, to a profession...and maybe now into a job (and how that's probably a good thing).

Funnily, when I first conceived of this posting (quite a way back) I thought it would be a negative one about how people don't care enough any more, but that has almost completely turned around - I now think it's a good thing if people are stepping back. A good #work/life_balance isn't something to whine about - we should be insisting on it.

Anyhows, read the posting and see what you think... ;-)

Evening thought: "#Writing is not a #profession but a #vocation of #unhappiness. I don't think an artist can ever be happy". (George Simenon)

That's why I am not a writer, I only write to understand what I think ...

St. Thérèse was clothed in the Discalced Carmelite habit in the Carmel of Lisieux #onthisday in 1889. Visit our blog and read her reflection on the Carmelite vocation and a brief commentary by Conrad de Meester, OCD

Pauline Martin writes to her sister Thérèse on 7 January 1889: "You fill my heart with joy; I would really cry with joy when seeing that my little daughter, the dearest, holds nothing back in her holocaust… She is saying just like the Spouse in the Canticles: 'Come, my Beloved, let us go down into our garden'..." On 10 January, Thérèse was clothed in the holy habit of Carmel.

"There is a vocation to suffer with Christ and thereby to cooperate with him in his work of salvation.

"When we are united with the Lord, we are members of the mystical body of Christ: Christ lives on in his members and continues to suffer in them. And the suffering borne in union with the Lord is his suffering, incorporated in the great work of salvation and fruitful therein."
