Vocations



The Lord calls each of one of us to live holy lives by entering into a unique relationship with Him by committing one’s life to one of the following particular vocations:

  • Holy Orders – the Priesthood and the Permanent Diaconate
  • Consecrated Life – Religious institutes, private and public associations of the faithful, secular institutes, and consecrated virgins);
  • Married Life – In Holy Matrimony, the husband and the wife offer each other in exclusive and life-giving generosity, whose expression of love yields a growth in spousal love and parental love
  • Single Holy Life – The single holy life is the state in which one offers her or his virginal and celibate consecration in witness of the Age to Come, in which “none are married or given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven” (Mt 22:30).
