I About US
A group united in Spirit!
We are a group of friends, who came together because we share the same dream and are aiming for the same goal:
To create a space for you to hear God's call, discern and discover His will for your life.We have asked ourselves: why is priesthood and consecrated life lacking new vocations?
Has God stopped calling? Or are we too distracted to listen; too afraid to commit ourselves!
We believe that God is still calling workers for His vineyard; and we believe that our mission is to help and encourage this encounter.
Through our journey of discernment, we came across the story of the encounter between Jesus and Zacchaeus.
The Spirit, that day, enlightened us to see in this story a very real example of a call that was transformed into an experience.
Zacchaeus was a rich man; had a good career; had a home and family; but something was missing from his life. He was seeking something that he himself didn’t know exactly what it was.
When he heard that Jesus was coming to his town, Zacchaeus felt in his heart the desire to meet him; not as one of the crowd but personally.
He knew his personal impediment and the difficulties the large crowd presented to him. He was short and there were a lot of people gathered, waiting to see Jesus. He was afraid that if he didn’t do anything, he would miss the opportunity to meet Him.
He found this tree, a Sycamore tree, and not caring about what people might think or say, he climbed to the top with the hope of achieving his heartfelt desire.When he heard that Jesus was coming to his town, Zacchaeus felt in his heart the desire to meet him; not as one of the crowd but personally.

Sometimes it is not enough to desire something. You need to take action in order to achieve it. Same applies to our relationship with God. Many desire, but few take action and live the real experience.
Jesus saw him… called him by name… ordered him to come down and He auto-invited himself to his house.
Reading and reflecting on this story of the Holy Bible we realized that at the end it was not Zacchaeus who was seeking the Lord, but it was the Lord who was seeking Zacchaeus. “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide.” (John 15:16)
Zacchaeus found a Sycamore tree on which he climbed to meet Jesus.
We would like to be like this 'Sycamore Tree' in your life and in the life of each and every person who feels God's call in his/her heart, and wants to go deeper and beyond.
Together, we will reflect on God's Word and pray on it; Silence will lead to intimacy with God.
Individually then, a spiritual director will be ready to accompany you through this beautiful journey.
Do not be afraid to climb your own tree, as meeting Him will fill your heart with love and joy.
