But God had other plans for Lucette. Emotionally neglected by her parents, Lucette became a "difficult child" leading a colorful life full of mischievous adventure all the while experiencing an unutterable loneliness. But the Hound of Heaven was gently ...

In Called by God: Discernment and Preparation for Religious Life, Rachael Marie Collins provides an overview of the spiritual life—both its joys and its challenges—and guides women as they discern whether they are called to be religious sisters or nuns. In a series of letters written by the author to a trusted friend discerning whether to enter religious life, Called by God explores both discernment and spirituality. The key to discernment, Collins argues, is to prepare for religious life by entering deeply into a life of prayer and sacrifice so that one experiences and begins to understand the “work” of a religious before entering the convent. Called by God draws heavily on the wisdom of great Catholic women such as Teresa of Ávila, Thérèse of Lisieux, Zélie Martin, Edith Stein, Teresa of the Andes, Elizabeth of the Trinity, Miriam Teresa Demjanovich, Elizabeth Leseur, and Caryll Houselander, among others. Women discerning a vocation will benefit immensely from the discussions about the difference between religious life and marriage, the nature of a vocation, the supernatural superiority of religious life, and spiritual motherhood in Called by God.

Los padres de Lucette, una niña francesa criada en la difícil frontera marroquí, huyeron de Francia y, como comunistas, juraron que «nadie hablaría de Dios a su hija, ni influiría en el desarrollo de su mente con supersticiones opresivas». Todo el ambiente y educación de la pequeña Lucette la encaminaba a ser un producto perfecto del ateísmo marxista y anticatólico. Pero Dios tenía otros planes para ella. Un día contempla la sobrecogedora belleza de una puesta de sol tras una violenta tormenta de arena, y siente la cercanía de Dios, que la impulsa a orar. Será el primer eslabón de una conversión que la llevará a abrazar la fe y, más tarde, a hacerse monja clarisa en Argel. Repudiada por sus padres, y ya como Madre Verónica Namoyo, será abadesa y fundadora de dos florecientes monasterios en África.
