“We love because God first loved us.”
1 Jn 4:19
Every step of discernment is a response to God’s love for us.
The call to be a Brother is a life-changing gift for the man and for the world. It’s a response to God’s first love for us. We have found the pearl of great price, the treasure buried in the field and we are willing to joyfully sell all to obtain it.
Nothing worthwhile is safe.
“The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness,” Pope Benedict XVI.
Discerning your lifelong call is too important to do alone. The Brothers have helped many men hear God’s call for their life. We just want what God wants for you.
Jesus is our beloved master and most dear friend. Are you ready to take a first step? Come and see!
