Sisters of Bon Secours: Journey With Us

Journey With Us

What is God calling you to do with your life? What is your deepest desire?
How can you best serve others? What will bring you fulfillment?

Vocation Prayer

Our Good God, all is gift from you!
May I trust you with all my heart,
You love and accept me unconditionally
and desire only what is best for me
Guide me to know that desire and help me
to fulfill my vocation in life.
Help me to know with conviction that path in life
You call me to so that I may say YES freely
and joyfully and follow you wherever you lead me.
Amen
Our Lady of Bon Secours pray for me!

A journey starts one step at a time

What I am is God’s gift to me.
What I become is my gift to God.
Those words bring to mind how we are all called in unique ways to live our lives, to serve Christ and one another. Discovering just what our calling is, and which paths we are to take is both exciting and challenging. As we talk about religious life in this section some of the terms we use may be unfamiliar to you.

Where do I begin?
We encourage you to ask many questions about religious life and whether it’s the path you’re being asked to follow. We look forward to hearing from you by phone, letter, or email. Sr. Pat Dowling, our vocation director, will respond to you in twenty four hours, spending considerable time on the phone with you and sending you material about our community and articles about religious life and prayer to stimulate your thinking and discernment further. She will share many things about becoming a sister and what life is like in the Bon Secours community.



	Our Director Welcomes You

When you feel ready, a visit is a great way to explore religious life and to get to know us personally.

If you aren’t already seeing a spiritual director, Sr. Pat will suggest you begin meeting with one monthly. A spiritual director can help you to listen more deeply to your inner spiritual voice. We’ll be happy to help you find one if needed. Read more about Spiritual Direction.

Prayer is crucial to discernment. You must take time to listen to what God has to say. To know what lies in your heart. Without prayer the journey is pointless.

Trust in God Alone
My soul, be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope.
God alone is my rock and my salvation, my secure height;
I shall not fall. Psalm 62,6-7
