Vocations

- Following the best path for our lives
  
  A VOCATION IS A CALL FROM GOD
  
  God created each one of us for a specific purpose, and He gave each one of us a mission to fulfill in our lives, just like He gave His Son. He has a plan for us to be happy, known as a vocation, and if we follow this plan it will lead us to be saints with Him in Heaven.
  
  Our vocation is an invitation from God to follow the best path for our lives, the one that will lead us to true happiness on Earth and to become saints in Heaven. But how does God know what is best for us, what will make us happy, especially if we are not even sure of that ourselves?
  
  Every person has a unique path. However, we can group vocations into four major categories:
  
  priestly life
  
  married life
  
  single life
  
  religious life

Prayer for Vocations
- Almighty Father,
  You have created us for some definite purpose. Grant us the grace to know the path You have planned for us in this life and to respond with a generous “Yes.” Make our archdiocese, parishes, homes, and hearts fruitful ground for Your gift of vocations. May our young people respond to Your call with courage and zeal. Stir among our men a desire and the strength to be good and holy priests. Bless us with the consecrated religious, and those called to a chaste single life, permanent deacons and faithful husbands and wives, who are a sign of Christ’s love for His church. We commend our prayer for vocations to You, Father, with the intercession of Mary our Mother, in the Holy Spirit, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
  — Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr
