(LAY)-(and religious) VOCATIONAL EXPERIENCE...
HELP in the VOCATIONAL RESEARCH, LAY and RELIGIOUS... ( taken from the Internal Ruling ALO-VV..)
It’s important to tell all those who are and who will be on the research of Peace and especially of the" DIVINE WILL", that besides participating in the H. Mass, Confessed and Communicated, it’s at the beginning, also recommended to them - if they desire - to do together with you ADP-VV some moments of Prayer, to see if the Lord wants also for them to become a new member or a new group ALO-VV; and..
... if these would happen to search for even more, then invite them to share together with us" little friars and sisters V.V." some special moments exclusively devoted for them, and then later it be seen… If then they, even before hand - you realize that - they tend more to the consecrated life more than that of the matrimonial life, then you can also tell them that they can be granted – if be pleasing to God - to stay also with us – for some weekends - (2-3) !, making exceptions for those that come from far away…
If then these will search indeed with effort, humility and recognition the discernment on the Divine Will, written since eternity for them, then we also allow them: a silent experience of "careful prayer", of at least 2 weeks or more, no less, like so we can dig better in regards to their vocational research, and eventually if we see together that the things go well, then ok, but if not, if there’s not the right enthusiasm, we can send them for his and our greater good also towards other religious families since that travelling we get to know many; otherwise one runs the risk of making everything one colour and of watering the Spirit of GOD, with that of the confusion which we’ve gone out of. For this writing is also:
« But the woman was given a pair of great eagle’s (spiritual) wings to fly to the desert (of the test) towards the refuge
prepared for her (and for all those who will want it) to be nourished for a time (indeterminate)... far from the serpent (which is the spirit of the world, that is the sea of people who do not look for GOD) ».
