Augustinian Vocations
|
|
Augustine's idea of searching for God finds an echo in many modern hearts and minds. Men and women are aware of a sense of vocation, of being called in a particular way. In the religious life, one way of responding to the call is as a friar in the Augustinian Order. Augustine prayed: 'Lord, let me know myself, let me know you.' Prayer in common, a programme of studies in philosophy and theology, a growing involvement in the life of the local church, a commitment to community life: these are some of the ways in which those who start out on the religious life are prepared and their vocations discerned. |
