"Have you ever considered that so many of us go through this world as though asleep at the wheel of our lives?" authors Father Andrew Carl Wisdom and Sister Christine Kiley ask in their book, Tuning In to God's Call. In every moment, God accompanies us and calls us to live a life for Christ through discovering our personal vocation.

When we stop and listen to God's voice, we open our hearts to the clarity and deep peace that we seek.

It will help you find peace in your prayer and inspire you.
