Each Sister would give a different answer to this question, as Our Lord leads no two souls in exactly the same way. But the two most common answers Sisters give are that they were first attracted by the solemn celebration of the Sacred Liturgy at the Priory, and by the Sisters' joy. Our Lord always meets us where we are and leads us upon the path He desires for us, and so while some Sisters experienced a great attraction to our Norbertine spirituality from the start, and some always had a desire for the cloistered life, others initially felt no such attraction at all – perhaps quite the contrary! Instead, God first drew these latter Sisters by some other aspect of our life such as the animals, the community, or even just by some undefinable sense that for an unknown reason this was where God wanted them. Regardless of where she began, as the grace of an authentic vocation unfolds, the Lord leads each Sister more and more deeply into union with Himself through our Norbertine charism, and she begins to see that He has been leading her on this path all along and intends through it to fulfill the deepest desires of her heart.
