Sr. Virginia Joy, SV shares a simple moment with a little girl—“Hey, love me”—as the cry of every human heart and the key to understanding vocation. Vocation isn’t a problem to solve or a divine hostage negotiation; it’s a personal relationship: God calls in love, and we respond in love. Through powerful stories (including a woman’s dramatic return to God through the Rosary and Our Lady of Guadalupe), she emphasizes that the first step in discernment is receiving God’s love—the love that restores identity, breaks shame, and makes courage possible. From there, she outlines how our response to God becomes daily, uniquely feminine, and total—whether in marriage or consecrated life—so that our whole life becomes a gift of self. The talk ends as an invitation: let Jesus love you, and then love Him back in the way only you can.
