Vocation\n\nSISTER SIMEON,O.P.  \nThe word of the Lord came to me:  \nBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you,before you were born I dedicated you....To whomever I send you,you shall go,whatever I command you,you shall speak.Have no fear before thembecause I am with you to deliver you(Jer.1:4-5,7-8).  \nThe nun today,if she is not yet in the world,is certainly in thenews.Articles,reports,exhortations,suggestions concerning herand her work are numerous.Questions touching the very natureand implications of the religious vocation in the modern world arebeing raised;answers,if given,cannot be final and sometimes arenot satisfactory.For the young religious,never having experiencedthe stability of traditional conventual life or enjoyed the securityof knowing that the community's work was achieving its endand meeting the demands made upon it,the idea that far-reachingadaptations might be necessary can be unsettling,even though itshould lead to a deeper consideration of essentials.At no timecould one afford to be complacent,safely cushioned behind conventwalls,but especially now must the religious come face to face withthe reality of ratified commitment,and from that source derive thestrength to meet the increasing pleas for apostolic action.In thetruly critical questions asked about religious life today it is neces-sary to acknowledge at once the basic(and perhaps disturbing)mystery at its core.  \nWhy God calls this person and not that one,why he laysthe burden of his word on one and not someone else more capable,why he disappears when he is most needed—these are questionsposed in religious life in any century and they emphasize anothertimeless fact:\"How inscrutable are his ways.\"The straight linemay be the shortest distance between two points in human calcu-lation,but the Lord is not bound by our formula,and indeed hemay permit aimless,expensive wandering-until suddenly we seethat he had no intention of traversing between our neatly plotted  \npoints.Yet the Lord does not require that we read his mind,onlythat we be available to his movement.And always he assures,\"Have no fear,I am with you to deliver you.\"  \nThe prophet Jeremiah,like John the Baptist,like each of us,was chosen before birth to do the Lord's work.Th","cbCaipqBjmWZCCAv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipqBjmWZCCAv","pdf",1812885,44,"English","#
