Team Spiritual Care: Accepting Roles

Submitted by Sister Kateri Theriault Mission Integration

Am I able to accept the role God has planned for me? Stepping aside for God doesn’t mean rolling over; it requires active participation on my part. First, am I open to God’s will, whatever that may be? If so, I need to be in conversation with Him to work out the details. Like any good conversation, good listening skills are also required. Then, in the quiet of my heart, I hear God speak.
