Discernment

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

Has God "called me from the womb" and "named my name" (Isa. 49:1)? How can I know God's will for my life, recognize and respond to God's call? What choices do I face and how am I to be guided in making them? What is included in the process of my vocation (sex, talents, education, profession, relationships, circumstances, dreams and desires)? This course combines three elements: (1) an introduction into forms of prayer conducive to discernment, (2) the reading and discussion of essays about vocation and discernment, and (3) interviews with women who have discerned (and continue to discern) their personal vocations. The course is designed to focus on vocations (lay and religious) open to women.
