Have you ever been lied to, swindled, or mistreated in your work? How did you handle that?
What might you say to people thinking about what kind of work they might do?
How have you learned to balance your family vocation with work?

Workshop on Vocation & Discernment

This four-week workshop is designed to help you listen for God’s guidance, affirmation, or redirection concerning the purpose and trajectory of your life as a follower of Jesus. Drawing on Ignatian Rules of Discernment, this practical course equips you to practice discernment in everyday life.
The workshop is open to anyone, regardless of past participation in Transformation Intensive. It will be based on chapters 6 and onward of God’s Voice Within: The Ignatian Way to Discover God’s Will by Mark Thibodeaux. The goal of this workshop is to clarify your sense of God’s call on your life and to zero in on any specific decisions you are making.
The workshop format is a large group session followed by breaking into smaller listening groups. In addition to reading the book, you will be given a weekly prayer guide. Ideally, you should plan on spending 30 to 45 minutes a day with prayer exercises and attend all four in-person sessions.
Session 1: Name the consolation and desolation in your life story
Session 2: Clarify your current commitments and dream about the future
Session 3: Map out a decision making process
Session 4: Confirm your decision in community with others
Led by Deacon Val McIntyre. Questions? Email ValerieMcIntyre@churchrez.org. Location: Gregory Room. Fee: $39.
