If not you, who?
If not now, when?
If not for God, why?
"The world needs you because it needs Christ
and you belong to Christ."
- Pope John Paul II
"God sends the spirit to call each one of us to a fuller life in Christ. A woman who responds to the Spirit's call by entering this religious congregation takes on the lifelong task of nurturing Christ's life in herself and others. Within the Ursuline congregation each sister endeavors to follow Christ according to the charism of (Saint) Angela (Merici). As each sister shares her life and spirit with new members, she calls them to a fuller life in Christ."
- Ursuline Constitutions, Norm 55

Vocation Prayer
Loving God, the birth of your Son brings the light of your presence to a waiting world. Help us bring that same light and hope to all who long to see your face. Enlighten young people to accept the call and challenge to share your presence with others as priests, sisters, deacons, priests and lay ministers, so your light will continue to shine for all to see. We make this prayer through Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, Amen.
- Have you ever felt a nudge or had that sense deep within that you want to be of more service to other people in the name of Jesus?
- Have you had this feeling yet you don't want to do it alone?
- Have you had a desire to form a deeper relationship with God?
- Are you willing to share your gifts, talents and who you are with others in a community of people committed to a "life of prayer and community and participation in the teaching mission of the Church?"
