The Vocation of Consecrated Life
The one who calls you is faithful, and he also will accomplish it. (1 Thess. 5:24) As the Lord grants her the grace to hear his call, He also grants her the wisdom and courage to follow Him to the precise place He has designed for her. By fidelity to the Holy Spirit’s promptings, her desires are refined and strengthened—and in God’s good time, she finds herself ready to take concrete steps towards realizing her vocation to a particular community. By visiting, speaking with the Vocation Director, and discerning with the community, she finds that “the experience of this gracious love of God is so deep and so powerful that the person called senses the need to respond by unconditionally dedicating…her life to God, consecrating to him all things present and future, and placing them in his hands” (Vita Consecrata 17, Pope St. John Paul II).
Help My Vocation
My name is Cristal Quiñones
I am an aspirant for the Dominican Sisters of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima. What appeals to me most about the Dominican Sisters of Our Lady of the Rosary is their love for Jesus and their humility and connection with the families they serve. The community evangelizes families to bring them closer to Jesus through the sacraments and parish ministries.
