How to become
a servant of Jesus?
Are you thinking about your future? Are you interested in religious life? Are you curious - or perhaps anxious - what a life devoted to God looks like, a life of purity, poverty and obedience, and moreover, a life hidden from the world, i.e. without a religious habit? Maybe it is you whom God calls to be the Servant of Jesus?
A vocation is a gift and a mystery. The first step is for God to take - it is Him who gives the grace of vocation, it is Him who calls for a specific kind of life, calls to a specific congregation. The second step is for you to - understand His will, accept it with love, respond with love and ... sail into deep waters.
How do you discern God's will?
Pray
In honest personal prayer, just ask Him, like Saint Francis did: “Lord, what do you want me to do?" Entrust yourself to Mary, the Handmaid of the Lord, and Bl. Honorat Koźmiński, who is the patron of choosing the way of life.
Listen
God answers in His word (read the Holy Scriptures), in events, through people.
Receive Holy Sacraments
Eucharist as well as Penance and Reconciliation.
Ask
Talk to a person close to you, a priest, a Sister Servant of Jesus ...
See and experience
Retreats and meetings organized in the houses of our congregation are an opportunity for this. Direct interaction with us, praying together, work, and meals will help you to recognize the vocation and make the decision.
