Summary

You’ve heard that you’re supposed to “discern your vocation”…but what does that ACTUALLY look like? That’s what Sr. Peter Marie of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecelia is here to speak with us about! We’re talking all about the vocations process over here for National Vocation Awareness Week, including what a come-and-see looks like, why it’s NOT a bad thing to enter religious life + leave it before making final vows, and the importance of getting HELP + direction with your discernment process. Even if you’re already in your vocation or not currently discerning, I think this episode is perfect for anyone who struggles with decision making and needs some encouragement in that area. Also, y’all, can I just say I love talking to religious sisters? Because I do. We need more of them for season 4, Amen?

I do want to make a quick apology and that's that the audio quality of this episode is a little lower than I typically prefer. I was speaking with sister on the phone and ever quite know what text setup is going to work best for religious sisters because just different orders have different systems that they use and things like that.

2:04.7

So it is a phone call, the audio is a little less high quality, but I still think the quality
