The first home of the vocation: the family
Every vocation begins at home. Not in a seminary, nor in a convent, but in the warmth of a family that prays, loves and serves.
There one learns to say “yes”, to look beyond oneself, to discover that life becomes great when it is given away.
-
The family is the first seminary of the heart.
-
Where one is taught to speak with God naturally.
-
Where one learns that faith is not theory, but shared life.
The community: cradle where the call grows
No one discerns alone.
The parish community, the group, the movement, are places where faith becomes a living experience.
There one discovers one’s gifts, shares concerns and finds concrete models of self-giving.
👉 The community does not replace the voice of God, but it helps to recognize it.
👉 It accompanies, encourages, supports… and prays.
"> A community that prays for vocations makes them be born.
A Church of vocations
We need families and communities that live their own vocation with joy, knowing that this already is a testimony.
When a married couple lives united, when a priest serves with passion, when a religious sister smiles with faith, they are preaching with their life.
Sowing vocations in our environments
Vocation is not a topic of the past nor only for “others”.
It is the great adventure of every Christian: discovering how God wants to love the world through you.
🌾 Parents, catechists, priests, friends…
Let us speak of vocation naturally.
Let us look at our young people with eyes of faith:
"> “That boy would make a good priest.”
“That girl has a big heart for serving.”
And not only think it: let us pray for them.
Every prayer is a seed in God's field.
