This month of October, after the experience of discernment at the Youth Center, Mariachiara asked to begin her formation in the pre-novitiate with the desire to set out toward religious life.
Several young women, in recent years too, have asked to share the experience of the Youth Center in order to sincerely seek their own specific vocation, choosing first of all a path of Christian life by devoting a period of their life in a special way to their relationship with God and to discernment. The experience of the Youth Center ordinarily lasts a few months, a year or a little more, a time marked by the deepening of the contents of the faith, by service in the apostolate among other young people, by sharing the experience with other young women who wish to live the Gospel radically, by dialogue with a companion, and by sharing some community moments with the sisters. In the end the moment comes to take flight, when each young woman reaches awareness of the step to take toward a choice of life, whether lay, married or religious, in any case ready to give herself as she feels in her heart.
To Mariachiara, a good journey!
