I had picked up a copy of the latest "Vision Vocation Guide" when I was visiting my spiritual director a couple of months ago. I finally had the chance to read it this week. It is full of great stories of people following the call to religious life as well as good advice on following your own call from God as well as ads featuring many different types of religious communities.
In the article, "How do I know God's will for me?" Fr. Paul Boudreau writes:
It says in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that people have a "natural desire for happiness. This desire is of divine origin: God has placed it in the human heart in order to draw man to the One who alone can fulfill it." (no. 1718) . . . It means the good desires in your heart and mine are from God. They're put there to guide us to God, where they can be fulfilled. You want to know God's will for you? Look in your heart. . . .Doing your heart's desire while keeping close to God in prayer and while staying connected to the church will lead you to God, even if it doesn't always feel like it.
