I need my life of environmental/peace&justice organizing-activism, and homeless service, to turn into a full spiritual vocation.
I have spent the past thirty years, since college graduation, doing frontline environmental/peace&justice organizing-activism. I also spent the past ten years doing homeless service with Catholic Worker all over the United States. I need a spiritual vocation in the Catholic Church. Presently, I am sleeping on a retired friend's apartment floor here in Berkeley, CA, and I have no money. Obviously, this society/culture doesn't give me what I need for my general sustenance, no matter how much good I do in service to God. Therefore, I am asking the Catholic world, and others, to pray to Jesus Christ, i.e, God, the Divine, for me, so that I receive a stable, loving, spiritual situation as soon as possible, and that I receive what I basically need for the rest of my life. Thank you very much.

Thanks to all who sent me email responses. I agree that the one and only way is to stay centered spiritually, and act from there. I don't know if Catholicism is going to give me anything or not. I know what Reality is, and I know that keeping the mind directed toward that is what is essential. Beyond this, is the mystical, which doesn't need discussion.
