Prayer Discernment • 5 steps to finding your vocation • by Brother David Steindl-Rast, O.S.B. • http://www.vocationnetwork.org/articl... • Did you know that the word vocation is related to the term “vocal cords” and means “a calling”? More precisely it means spending your life doing what your innermost heart feels called to do, but how shall we do it? • It’s as simple as ask, trust, stop, listen, and respond. • Ask what makes you come alive. Whatever your answer it will point toward that way of serving the world for which you are best suited. When you do that, you express your unique • personality— and this uniqueness is what the world needs. • Trust the opportunities life and God are offering. Once you know what gives your heart deep and lasting joy, go for it! To live in faith and hope and love means finding your true vocation. It means to experience life with trust and openness and an all-embracing “yes” and so to come alive with the divine life within you. • Is there a simple method to put all this into practice? There is. The method has three parts: Stop, listen, respond. Stop, or you will zoom right past the opportunity life is offering you this very moment. By stopping, you practice faith: You trust that life, and the Giver of Life, has a message for you, an invitation. • And then you listen—with the ears of your heart. Most of the time life invites you to enjoy—what you see, taste, smell, touch, or hear. The greatest surprise will be to discover how by stopping and listening you come to interact lovingly with others if you practice the next step and respond. It is your answer to a very personal calling, and it turns whatever you are doing into a vocation, your unique vocation—for no other person can listen and respond with your heart.
