What a beautiful day for the Serrans of North Columbus! Over 240 young women from the Columbus Diocese came to The Josephinum – The Jessing Center for a Vocational Luncheon and were inspired by Sr. Elfie del Rosario, FMA, national Vocation Director for Salesian Sisters – Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. Sr. Elfie challenged the young ladies to listen for the voice of God and to see where He is calling them. She reminded them that the only way they will recognize His voice is first to get to know Him. She recognized that the world they live in is noisy and distracting so she challenged them with the following: 1. Download and utilize the New American Bible app and read God’s Word. 2. Recieve the Sacraments frequently 3. Surround yourself with friends that are faith-filled and stay with those people. 4. Daily Prayer (talk and listen to God) 5. Know that God will talk to you in your experiences-even in through the crosses you carry. He will use your experiences as His witness to you and others. 6. When you give of yourself (not just for service hours) the more God can work through you and you can discover the gifts that He has given to you to share!
The young ladies were also blessed by the presence of 8 other Religious Orders! Stay tuned for future posts sharing more pictures of all the Sisters that attended.
Thank you The Catholic Foundation and Knights of Columbus Council 11445 St. Michael of Worthington, Ohio for your generous support of the vocation luncheons! The fruits of the luncheon are eternal!
