Vocation

Every person in life is called to a specific vocation. Everyone is called to a vocation to be apart of the common priesthood as well as join in the universal call to holiness. Becoming a priest or a consecrated is not the only way to join the universal call to holiness; rather, we can join this calling by simply participating in life to the utmost potential and to the best ability that we can whether this means following a teacher's instructions, cleaning toilets, or cooking food. But people that know of God are also required to participate in the sacraments and try their best to rebuild their relationship with God. We are also called to a more specific vocation: marriage, consecration, or holy orders. Each person will either be called to marriage with a spouse, becoming a brother or sister, or becoming a priest. These vocations are more specific and decide how we take part in the Church for the rest of our life: laity or apart of the hierarchy. Through discernment and prayer we can discover our true vocation; it takes time and a lot of prayer to discover what we will ultimately become.
