The words from Psalm 118 «Suscipe me, Domine» (receive me,
Lord) are sung by those making profession
as a monk or
nun, and the teaching offered here on the nature of vows speaks to anyone who sees their human journey in terms of vocation.
So, I pray that
as I grow in my faith and
as my children experience their own challenges... be it that one chooses to be a pastor or my daughter chooses a life of servitude
as a
nun that they will also always know that the
Lord gives them the freedom to make changes and seek him in whatever way they need to without compromising the fact that he died for us to save us.
