THE PROCESS OF "DISCERNMENT" OR "SPIRITUAL DIRECTION" DRAWS OUR PARTICIPATION IN GOD UP INTO CONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS MORE THAN "FEELING" THAT GOD IS CALLING US TO A CERTAIN TASK OR STATE OF LIFE. DISCERNMENT RELIES ON BRINGING OUR LIVES, CONCERNS, AND QUESTIONS INTO THE PRESENCE OF SCRIPTURE, REASON, AND PRAYER. (CIRCLES OF LIGHT, INTRODUCTION) |

Circles of Light- Here I Am is the first step in diocesan discernment for ministry, baptismal or ordained. This process of inquiry and discernment about God's desire for our lives and our vocation is a six month journey of meeting in small groups with a facilitator to explore where God is calling one to ministry. The commitment participants should expect to make is for 10 sessions, each lasting 2 to 3 hours and paced at 1 to 3 weeks apart.
