The Discernment Process
Where Should You Begin?We all began our journey to St. Scholastica Monastery in somewhat the same way as you, seeking information that would help us discern what God wished for our lives. Like you, we responded to a call from God, one heard in different ways, at different times. We were all different ages; we came from different places. Some of us knew when we were quite young that we wanted to be a Sister, a “nun.” Others of us heard the first whisper of that call while in college or beginning a career. Still others of us were older and knew something was missing in our otherwise successful lives. Our discernment led us to the monastic life, led us to St. Scholastica Monastery to follow the Gospel and the ideals set down in the Rule of St. Benedict. Our discernment led us to this Monastery to live in this Community under the guidance of a Prioress. How have you heard the call from God? And what are you going to do about it?
