With so many different Religious Orders, how would I know 1 am being called to be an Augustinian?
Discerning a vocation to religious life/priesthood is a process that primarily requires prayer and ongoing spiritual direction. The fundamental call of the Gospel is a call to conversion, a change of heart by which one begins to center his life on the reign of God given to us in Christ. Augustine experienced this call in his restless pursuit of truth. He tells the story of his conversion and his coming to know himself and God in his Confessions. Conversion was possible for Augustine by God’s grace and through the friendships and hospitality he experienced with others.
