The Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis

Greetings!

Welcome to our Vocation Section.

First, let me ask you a question:

why are you reading this page?

Think about it.

Whatever reason-there must have been some curiosity or questions about religious life.

But why are you curious?

Perhaps you are being called to a religious vocation!

Think about it.

Did you hear God call you? No?

Have you been listening?

Like Elijah, are you waiting for the strong wind, the earthquake or the fire?

Don’t wait too long – He probably won’t call that way.

God has spoken through His Spirit to your spirit in a soft whisper.

He has put the interest in religious life into you.

That is His call. That’s why you are reading this page.

Listen to Him!

Sister Agnes Joseph, O.S.F.

Director of Vocations

Our hearts are made to love and they cannot live without love.

Let us place our heart on the altar of sacrifice with all its thoughts, desires, longings and love.

Let us place it in His most loving heart and ask Him to purify it and fill it with His love.

Spouse of Christ, do not refuse your Bridegroom anything.

Give yourself to Him whole and entire.

(The Spirituality of Our Pioneer Sisters)
