How Do You Know If You Have a Religious Vocation?

What is a Religious Vocation?

A religious vocation is a call from God to share intimately in  His inner life of love.  Your religious vocation is His invitation for you to share in saving the world.  If this call is that nagging tug on the heart, then it must be followed.
