An authentic vocation

"requires a life of intimacy with the Lord, ...a spiritual freedom acquired through mortification of defects, a forgetfulness of self so as to enter into the concerns of others, community demands, and the life of the Church."

From the website for The Sisters of the Visitation at Rockville, Virginia.

"The sisters are called to...

• A contemplative life of prayer and meditation.
• Unite to God in one heart and one soul.
• Live a life of profound humility
• A life of great simplicity and joy in the common life.
• Strive to transform daily reality into ever greater joy."
