How to prepare for consecrated life

As you explore your vocation, begin incorporating these holy practices into your routine to prepare for consecrated life: 

●   Attend daily Mass

●   Say the Liturgy of the Hours

●   Receive the sacrament of Reconciliation regularly

●   Find a spiritual director/mentor
     Contact your local diocese, or one of VISION's many participating communities for assistance. 

●   Establish daily prayer habits
     Review the many options on ways to pray and discern God's will 

●   Allow time for spiritual reading
     Look to classics such as St. Francis deSales "Introduction to the Devout Life" and
     St. Thomas à Kemis' "Imitation of Christ." or explore the many other writings on prayer,
     spirituality, and vowed life, including those featured in VISION Spotlight.

●   Continue in your faith formation by attending lectures, taking classes, practicing both
     the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
