True Vocation - God's call.
From My life for the poor by Mother Theresa
Once I asked my confessor for advice about my vocation. "How can I know if God is calling me and for what He is calling me?"
He answered,"You will know by your happiness. If you are happy with the idea that God is calling you to serve Him and your neighbour, this will be the proof of your vocation. Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life. One has to follow it, even though one enters into a way full of difficulties."
In A Guide to Prayer for all who seek God :Upper Room Books
Whether in struggle or suffering, or consolation and contentment, God's call is known by a deep sense of joy; the overwhelming "Yes, this is what I am for."
