 EXPLORING YOUR VOCATION

The question of vocation isn’t just about what God wants me to do. But, who has God created me to be. And who am I created for? It is a response to the call placed on our hearts in baptism: the call to holiness, our primary vocation. It is a gift from God and can be summed up in the great commandment to love God and our neighbors as ourselves.

Each man and women is therefore called forth to seek how they are to live out this Holiness, either through the Ordained Life, Consecrated Life or Married Life for men and Consecrated or Married Life for women.

Discovering the calling God has given you often begins with a sense of excitement. This is a moment of grace in which God invites us to offer our time and energy to think and pray about what it means to live for Him. At the heart of all vocations, whether to the ordained, religious or married life, is the discovery of the “pearl of great price” (Matt 13:45-46). When we get a glimpse of Jesus’ vision of the Kingdom of God, our being hungers for more. We want to be involved in a dialogue with Jesus and to share this great treasure with others. Discovering and then living our vocation has its challenges. We don’t always know where to go or where to start. However, God will help us with this if we ask him to. Scripture reminds us that God can and still does call the most unlikely people to do extraordinary things. Those called often responded with doubt, feelings of inadequacy, and even fear. God is the master planner, and he has a role just for you, and he is on your side. Our personal vocation is ultimately a response to knowing the one who calls us. God calls us out of love so that we may have life and life to the full. (John 10:10).
