Guidance for Women Discerning a Cloistered Vocation
In a world filled with noise, deadlines, and distractions, the idea of leaving everything behind to live in silence with God may seem distant or even impossible. And yet, some hearts hear a whisper that won’t fade. A quiet invitation. A call to “come away and be with Me.”
At the Cloistered Convent of Saint Ursula, we believe that every vocation is a gift — some are called to serve in the world, others to serve the world through prayer. The cloistered life is not for everyone. It is a path of profound simplicity, obedience, and spiritual intimacy. But if you feel drawn to it — to prayer, to stillness, to hidden sacrifice — it may be that Christ is gently calling you.
A cloistered vocation is not about escape; it is about encounter. It is about offering your whole life to God for the sake of others, in silence and behind walls, but never far from the needs and wounds of the world.
If your heart stirs when you hear about this way of life… if you long for something deeper, something eternal… if you feel drawn to live only for God, then pray. Ask Him to guide you. And listen.
Our community welcomes quiet inquiries. We do not seek numbers, but souls willing to love.
Could this be your path?
