Vocations

We are all called ... some to priesthood, others to religious life, others to married life and others to life as a single baptised member of the church.  Each vocation offers us a chance to share God's love and follow Jesus' example to serve one another.

I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day. No one should think that this invitation is not meant for him or her, since no one is excluded from the joy brought by the Lord. Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
