Religious Vocation

What is a Religious Vocation?

A vocation is a call from God to share intimately in His inner life of love. Out of his love, the Lord has created you and you alone for a specific mission. Your vocation is His invitation for you to share in saving the world as a single or married person, as a priest or religious.

Sometimes the pull of a vocation is strong, sometimes not. But if it keeps coming back—if this call is that nagging tug on the heart—then it must be followed. You are being called by God to do something remarkable, and that call must be pursued, or you will spend the rest of your life wondering about it.

"If today you hear God's voice, harden not your heart." (Psalm 95)
