The essentials
To make an informed choice about our future, we need to understand the details first.
Let's break it down.
What is a Vocation?
"Vocation" originates from the Latin vocare, meaning “to call.” It signifies that God is calling us to a specific purpose, with Him as the caller and us as the ones being called.
"The Lord’s call is not an intrusion of God in our freedom; it is not a “cage” or a burden to be borne.
On the contrary, it is the loving initiative whereby God encounters us and invites us to be part of a great undertaking. "
POPE FRANCIS
Secondary Vocation
Secondary Vocation involves completely giving oneself to God and then to others in our lives. According to the Catechism, it is a gift from God to live and die for someone(s) in this world. This vocation manifests in three forms:
Holy Matrimony - for a spouse
Holy Orders - for a parish or diocese
Consecrated Life - given unmediated to Christ Himself
What's next?
Now that we know what the choices are, the logical next question is how do we know what God calls us to? This is where learning how to DISCERN comes in handy.
