What do you consider your apostolate?

Episode 55: "Before you make your dedication, I ask you . . . What do you consider your apostolate?"

During Schoenstatt's Covenant of Love Ceremony the priest asks the candidates to answer four questions as they are stating their intent. The last of these four questions is "What do you consider your apostolate?" In answer to that question, the candidates respond: "To do whatever God asks of us according to our personal mission and state in life. Our most effective apostolate will be the sanctification of our lives and the service of those entrusted to our care. The horizon of our apostolate is the spiritual and moral renewal of the whole Church and world, in Christ through Mary. We will consider it our task to follow God's plan into any field of apostolate He desires."

Have you thought any more about your response to this question since your own Covenant Day? Tune in to this episode as author and host Julia Monnin talks about one way she has responded to this call to "follow God's plan into any field of apostolate He desires." In this episode, Julia announces the release of her newest book "The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: The Second Daily Devotional" (which is dedicated to the Blessed Mother in a special way) and shares with listeners some of the thoughts inside its pages that might be especially helpful to ponder as we wait with Mary in the upcoming season of Advent. As always, Julia's new book (and all of her other books) are available for sale online at journeysrevealed.com/shop. ///
