The call to religious life is the most radical way to serve in Christ’s army, but requires serious discernment. Are you willing to die so that other’s may live? That may sound extreme, but are you willing to dedicate your life to help others in this earthly journey to be ready for our greatest journey: an eternity with Christ?
