The
Arlington Diocese Office of Vocations presents
Vocations
Discernment:
"To know your vocation: ask God in
prayer; ask one's spiritual director; ask oneself, knowing one's own
inclinations."
-
St. Gianna Molla
Click on the logos to visit the Diocesan Vocational
pages. |
"Quo Vadis" means "Where are you going?" and
its members are young men in high school who desire to grow in
faithful discipleship and personal holiness to be better able to
discover their own vocation invitation from our Lord, whatever that
might be.
''FIAT' is a Latin word for 'Let it be done'.
It was Mary's response to the angel Gabriel when she was asked to
become the mother of Jesus. 'Let it be done unto me according to
Your Will' refers to Mary's 'Yes' to God. The members of FIAT are
young women in high school who desire to grow in faithful
discipleship by modeling their personal holiness on that of our
Lady. By doing so they hope to be better able to discover their own
vocation invitation from our Lord, whatever that might be and make
their own "fiat" or "yes" to Him.
