There are therefore canonized saints who have changed religious order (in our day we have the case of Teresa of Calcutta, who left the Loreto order and founded his own) because the models pre-approved by the Church and not exhaust the multiplicity vocations ( "was not the man for the Sabbath but the Sabbath for man"). As for the vocation to Opus Dei, the only thing I can is therefore a personal response. I might have a vocation to the apostolate as long as it was spontaneous and not forced, provided they do not necessarily have to have my guard the names of the people at that I was in my ministry, provided they did not have to reveal confidences I did my friends, provided that the ministry was targeted not direct proselytizing): in short, whenever my ministry was not "remote" from my guards. So I had no vocation to Opus Dei. If anyone else seems right to him, to know that there is a place.    Pedro  2 tracks  initiated  17 messages  posted  recent    Published 18 July de 2002 at 12:31:48     Can you talk about vocation when sent to a center of Opus with 13 or 14 years and there they teach you that the Work is all worth it, and it is more important than your own family or friends? I think not ...    ana  5 tracks  initiated  65 messages  posted  veteran    Published 18 July de 2002 at 19:27:25     Indeed, Peter, I totally agree with you. see that you and I have been there. or at least has affected us in the same way ... because what you say in different forums is exactly what I think. ana     There are 1 pages of post:   1      Reply to this message    Close this topic    moderated forum     The Opus Dei Forum
