Vocations

God calls all people to holiness. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) explains: “All Christians in any state or walk of life are called to the fullnessof Christian life and to the perfection of charity” (2013). Fundamentally, everyone is called to live out the call to holiness as witnesses to Christ’s teaching and the life of faith sustained by the Church through their Baptismand Confirmation (CCC 900). Living out a call to holiness is essential to thelife and mission of the Church. Every one of Christ’s disciples shares a call to holiness and to the mission of evangelizing the world (CCC 1533). A vocation is our way of answering God’scall to build the kingdom of God in our daily lives (CCC 898). Our vocationspecializes the Church’s mission to fit into our lives: who we are, our charisms, and what God has planned for us. To some, God calls to loveanother in the sacrament of Holy Matrimony: a covenant which establishesa partnership of the whole of life, where the two together renounce themselves and follow Christ, thus enabling them to live out the original meaning of marriage (CCC 1601, 1615). To others, God calls to a deeper participation in the Church’s life and ministry as consecrated religious, deacons, or priests.
