“Faith is also a process of Incarnation – of becoming who and what you were born to be. When you are doing what you are meant to do, the queasiness vanishes. Identifying a calling is no easy thing. Following a calling can sometimes be difficult, but it is always grace-filled, because when you understand what you are called to, you understand who you are.” 

— Elizabeth Scalia, a.k.a., “The Anchoress.”

[Which reminds me: tonight’s edition of “Currents” features an inspiring report on some young women making their first profession as Little Sisters of the Poor. You can watch a live stream here at 7:30 and 11:30 ET. I’ll post a link when it goes to our website tomorrow. — Dcn. G.]
