Vocations
This ‘universal call to holiness,’ however, is lived out in many different ways in the Church as we all strive to respond to God’s individual call to lay down our lives in service to Him and the Church. Hence, every Christian believer is given some ‘Call’ by God to be a priest, religious, consecrated, married, deacon, or to remain in the celibate life for the sake of the Kingdom.

During this week, please pray about how God is calling you to live your vocation more deeply. Encourage the young people in your life—children, grandchildren, students, and friends—to be open if God calls them to priesthood or religious life. We want to pray for good and holy priests to lead us and provide us nourishment for the journey of our discernment and for good and holy consecrated men and women who can provide for us the vision of the heavenly reality where we all will be united fully with our Creator for all eternity.
