NATIONAL VOCATION AWARENESS WEEK: 5-12 AUGUST

Next week we begin National Vocations Awareness Week. We focus on each person’s vocation, especially our primary vocation– the call to holiness. The call to holiness is to become all that God has created us to be, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, and soul and to share our gifts and talents for the common good of all society. We pray that our young people will hear the call to dedicate their lives to God and make a commitment to serve God’s people. If we have already committed to a particular vocation, such as single or marriage, or priesthood or consecrated life we also pray for God’s grace to rededicate ourselves and continue to live out this call in our life.
