In a book of essays byyoung women religious, Our Own Words: Religious Life ina Changing World, she and other recently professedsisters describe what it means for them to “go big or gohome” in life’s great adventure. Kemme quotes T.S. Eliot:“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly findout how far one can go.” As Vocation Awareness Weekbegins, consider how far you’re prepared to go.TODAY'S READINGS: Wisdom 11:22—12:2; 2Thessalonians 1:11—2:2; Luke 19:1-10 (153). “Wealways pray for you, that our God may make youworthy of his calling.”Monday, Nov 04, 2019MEMORIAL OF CHARLES BORROMEO, BISHOPOut-of-synch saintWith Vocation Awareness Week underway, we celebratethe 16th-century Italian Charles Borromeo, who waspretty sure of his vocation by the age of 12. As he grewin understanding of who he was called to be, he gaveaway his wealth and dedicated himself to service of thepoor. He was made a cardinal by his uncle, Pope Pius IV.After that, in order to become the archbishop of Milan,he was ordained a priest. (An unusual sequence butpossible at that time.) A zealous reformer of thechurch, he died at the age of 43 but was made a saint 26years later. All are called to serve and to the sainthoodof all believers. Consider your own vocation—have youfound it yet?TODAY'S READINGS: Romans 11:29-36; Luke14:12-14 (485). “When you hold a banquet, invite thepoor, the crippled, the lame, the blind.”

Tuesday, Nov 05, 2019It starts with a good wordDid you know that a surprising number of sisters,brothers, and priests say that they first considered avocation to religious life simply because someone—ateacher, friend, or relative—suggested it to them? Didsomeone point out to you early in life that you’d be goodat sales or carpentry or design—or whatever it is younow do for a living? Do the same for a young person youknow, if you see in them qualities that would suit them toreligious life. You might be planting the seed of a futurevocation.TODAY'S READINGS: Romans 12:5-16b; Luke14:15-24 (486). “Go out to the highways andhedgerows and make people come in that my homemay be filled.”Wednesday, Nov 06, 2019Hold things lightlyToday is the middle of National Vocation AwarenessWeek, a good time for people from all walks of life toconsider their calling. At the same time, today’s gospeldoes not soften a hard message that no matter ourcalling, all disciples should hold lightly to both family andpossessions. While the vows and promises priests,sisters, and brothers make involve renunciation ofpossessions and often mean less family contact,Christians in every walk of life may be required to turnfrom family and let go of belongings at some point. Inyour prayer today, consider what sacrifices your lifepath has required—and what joys it has brought you.TODAY'S READINGS: Romans 13:8-10; Luke 14:2533 (487). “Whoever does not carry his own crossand come after me cannot be my disciple.”Thursday, Nov 07, 2019Go ahead, be a loser!Even though the U.S. Catholic Church is promotingVocation Awareness Week—for vocations to thepriesthood and religious life—it’s also an opportunity foreveryone to reflect upon their own vocation in life, tore-examine their larger philosophy of life. While it’strue that Jesus uses parables that describe the joy offinding lost things—the shepherd who searches for oneof 100 sheep, the woman who scours her home for one of10 coins—Jesus also says we must lose our life to keepit. Who, me? A martyr? Not necessarily. But in a worldthat fosters self-centeredness, we can practice acts ofself-sacrifice. Some even call it “dying before we die,”the “white martyrdom” of saints in heaven—but also thesaints who live nearby.TODAY'S READINGS: Romans 14:7-12; Luke 15:1-10(488). “None of us lives for oneself, and no one diesfor oneself.”Friday, Nov 08, 2019Let the Spirit guide youJesus promised his disciples that after he left thisearth, his Spirit would continue to be with them. Thosewho believe in Jesus and try to live as he did are thedisciples of today. So when we struggle with a problem,face a difficult decision, or are worried about life’sevents, we too can count on the Spirit of Jesus, God’sHoly Spirit, for wisdom and consolation. Any and everyday is the time to call on the promised Spirit. Take amoment in quiet prayer today to ask God’s Spirit to leadyou through the day.TODAY'S READINGS: Romans 15:14-21; Luke 16:1-8(489). “I will not dare to speak of anything exceptwhat Christ has done through me . . . by the powerof God’s Spirit.”Saturday, Nov 09, 2019FEAST OF THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERANBASILICAThe grace of sacred spaceIt’s not every day in the life of the church that we havea feast day for a building. But Saint John Lateran is notabout a history set in stone. The feast we celebratetoday is a feast of the living church: our life in Jesusthe Christ and our life with the whole communion ofsaints. Because we belong to the Body of Christ, thespaces we gather in are also sacred—be they basilicas orfamily rooms, soup kitchens or pubs, nature trails orborderlands. In gratitude for this feast, what is one wayyou can extend sacred space to someone else?TODAY'S READINGS: Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12; 1Corinthians 3:9c-11, 16-17; John 2:13-22 (671).“Jesus was speaking about the temple of his body.”
