Vocation comes from the Latin word "vocare" meaning "to call." God calls each and every one of us to a specific mission in life. The Lord created you to be unique and unrepeatable, so you are the only one who can fulfill the mission you were created for. A vocation requires a full gift of self, whether it be a full gift of yourself to your spouse in Marriage, to your parish and Christ's people in Priesthood, or to your religious community and to the Lord in Consecrated Life. Do not be afraid. God is with you and desires to fill you with His love, mercy, and grace. If you earnestly desire to discover how God is calling you, pray daily, volunteer and serve others, and research different states of life.
