DISCOVERING VOCATION does not mean scrambling toward some prize just beyond my reach but accepting the treasure of true self I already possess. Vocation does not come from a voice 'out there' calling me to be something I am not. It comes from a voice 'in here' calling me to be the person I was born to be, to fulfill the original selfhood given me at birth by God.
-Fr. Thomas Merton, O.C.S.O (1915-1968)

Ngoc Chau:
"My journey to follow Jesus has been anything but ordinary in a world filled with endless choices. From a young age, I felt a whisper in my heart, a gentle pull towards something greater than myself. As I navigated life’s ups and downs, I encountered profound moments of grace that drew me closer to my calling. When He said 'Follow me,' I responded with a heartfelt 'YES,' to leave behind everything—even to leave behind the gifts He had given me, and to follow Him—my ultimate 'Giver.' "
Thuy Vy:
“I had this deep yearning for love for a very long time and I tried to fulfill it in so many ways. Nothing seemed to truly satisfy me. When the Lord opened my eyes and heart to see the hand He had been holding out to me, that’s when I finally found the one thing I had been searching for—Love Himself. I had finally found the One whom my soul loves: Jesus Christ.”
