Whether you are young and single, a religious, or married and old, God expects you to put every ounce of your strength into His work. God calls people to live their lives as married couples, as unmarried, chaste men and women, or as a religious priest, brother, or sister. Each person has to put time into discovering how God wants them to live. Many married couples have divorced because they were never meant to be married in the first place. Many single men and women live with a void in their lives, knowing something more is meant for them, but not knowing what they are supposed to do about it.
People talk about a shortage of vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
I say that God never lets up in calling people to be sisters, brothers, and priests, it is rather an ignoring of that call that is taking place. If you feel that maybe God could be calling you to the priesthood or religious life, it is your duty to explore that call. Feel free to explore this site and use the links, and in doing so may it help you discover how God is calling you to live.
