Christian Vocation: It All Begins With a Call

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Adapted from an article by Father Donald Senior, CP for VISION Vocation Guide. Read the complete article at: http://www.vocationnetwork.org/articles/show/31. THE MOST BASIC MEANING OF VOCATION is a call. A call to holiness and the fullness of life itself. Who can forget in the opening chapters of Mark and Matthew's gospels those encounters by the Sea of Galilee?

i am excited about living my vocation because it is what god wants and it is what will make me truly happy.

I do not have any fears about my vocation because what ever God wants will be the perfect fit for me in my life.

The most important reason for me to answer God's call is it will make the world a better place and i will be happy and so will the people around me

religious life is people completely devoting them selves to God and doing anything he wants of them.

some examples of religious life is a priest, deacon, nun, sister, and brother. they all take vows devoting themselves completely to God and the church.

the religious life is important because they spread the good word of God and are perfect examples of holiness.

the married life is very important it is man and woman giving them selves completely to each other.

They give each other the gift of self and it is total, faithful, fruitful, and free.

Married couples make there love visible to the world with children, rings, and kissing or hugging just to name a few.

Married people people have a unique roll because they grow the army of christian soldiers by having children and raising them to know God

Say YES! to your vocation, it will make you happier than you can ever know.

in the married life religious life and the priest hood you make promises or vows and live by them for the rest of your life.

the single life is different then any other vocation because it can be temporary or permanent. people living the single life

have much more time to serve God and others because they have not taken the vows that devote the other vocations to specific purposes.

i am living my single vocation by serving people in my community through stewardship. I can also serve God by leading others closer to their vocation

and i can keep listening to God and possibly be sent on a different path to serve in a different way.

God calls each of us to a special purpose and a special mission to fulfill.

His plan for you to follow in your life is called your vocation. God will not force you

to follow his call but he hopes you will because it is what will make you happy and make the world a better place.

God is calling me to a single life as a student at ACS. God is leading me on this vocation through my parents supporting me well I get my education. A person who has inspired me in my vocation is my brother Joe who is in college. He inspires me because he is living the vocation i am living and he is happy.

God is calling all of us to a different and unique vocation but with the same goal to become a saint.

we are all called through baptism, in baptism we are made children of God and become Christian disciples.

To get a better relationship with God you can simply participate in the sacraments especially the Eucharist

and reconciliation. the only way you can be happy in your life is to let God lead you to your vocation.
