Episode #13 - Called? ME, Gen Z?

In this ephemeral landscape of fleeting images we all long for happiness that lasts forever. We are wired for it, always seeking for something eternal. Sr. Sophia Peters, a Franciscan Sister of the Eucharist who is a marriage and family therapist and also a formator for your women entering her religious community, walks us through the generational characteristics of today’s young people (“Gen Z”). She shows us how those traits and tendencies can present not only as challenges, but also as blessings for these individuals as they seek their path to happiness.

Everyone has a vocation. And in each generation, there are some individuals whom God calls to walk closely with him in the priesthood or consecrated life for the service of their brothers and sisters. But considering current societal pressures and generational factors, how can they hear and respond to the call? Sister Sophia shows us how profound silence, listening, and presence to God can lead to a clear vision of the path to which he is calling us, and how his grace is ever-present to support us in engaging on that path and ultimately in discovering our greatest joy and fulfillment.
