JOHN 1:38-39
Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?”
He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?"
"COME AND SEE"
WHAT IS A
COME AND SEE?
A sixty-four hour immersion experience into the very rhythm of Dominican religious life. Much like the first disciples, a Come and See often provides that “gut” experience which offers the visceral clarity that is the goal of discernment and the only true test of whether or not your home is here.
You will meet friars, ages ranging from twenty-three to well into their eighties, as well as a range of participants who, like you, ask the same questions.
Between the shared experiences of the religious and those at your place in discernment, you cannot put a price on what you gain—a wealth of insight. Be one of the forty to fifty men who will take advantage of the opportunity this year.
You have a choice: you can either spend time in your head wondering what religious life is all about, or you can come and find out. Don’t miss out—it’s only the rest of your life we’re talking about.

JESUS INVITED THE APOSTLES TO STAY WITH HIM FOR ONLY A BRIEF TIME, BUT IT WAS ENOUGH...
FOR THEM TO KNOW THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING AND FOLLOW HIM.
