Through the Sacrament of Baptism every Christian has a vocation Discovering the vocation that God has given you is a process that takes time. Your abilities and talents, the things that you enjoy doing, and the things that you dislike, can give you some important indications of what God is asking of you. Your vocation is more than your career choice or occupation. It is God's invitation to live out your commitment to holiness and service in a specific lifestyle that you choose. Throughout the centuries, men and women have responded to God's call to commit themselves wholly to God and God's people through the consecrated life. CONSECRATED LIFE Some women and men choose to live a particular lifestyle called religious or consecrated life...
Most sisters, brothers, and priests are very ordinary people who love God and have a burning desire to be of service to others. COULD THIS BE ME? How would you describe your relationship with Jesus? What makes you most happy at this point in your life? How do you share that with others? Who or what supports you in trying to be the best person you can be? How are you of service to others? What are you doing right now to help you decide about your future? TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT CONSECRATED LIFE: PRAY and spend time listening to God. TALK to a sister, brother, or priest.
