The Christian
VOCATION
God made us to know him,
love and serve him.

The Old Baltimore Catechism

o to know
o to love
o to serve the Lord.
Being called forth . . .
o From nature to purpose

o From essence to existence

o From origin to destination


Being called forth to . . .
o From personal to shared-communal life

o From interiority and individuality to relationality

o From embodied spirit to ecological spirituality.


Being called forth to . . .
o From “image to likeness” (Gen. 1:26-27)
The Communal Character of the
Human Vocation
o Sharing in the life of the Trinity (1 Jn 3:1-2, 4:7-12)
o Koinonia – Living in communion of love: intrinsic
connection between love for God and love of neighbour
(CCC 1878)
LUMEN GENTIUM (CHAPTER V)
Every member of the Church is called to holiness.
This means we are called to love: to love God
and to love each other. The particular way that
you live out that call to holiness is your vocation.
7 ESSENTIAL THINGS ABOUT YOUR

God made us to know him,
love and serve him.

The Old Baltimore Catechism


Conclusion:

1. We are all called to know, love, and serve the LORD.


2. We are called to change our mind-sets in life
3. We are all called to holiness (to be holy as the Father is).
4. We are called to live and share it to others.
There are different ways of carrying out the
plan that God has for each of us, which is
always a plan of love. And the greatest joy for
every believer is to respond to this call, to
offer all of himself at the service of God and
his brothers and sisters.

Pope Francis in his Angelus address last January 17, 2021.


Reflection:
1. What have I done for Christ?
2. What am I doing for Christ?
3. What ought I do for Christ?

From St. Ignatius of Loyola


Prayer:
Day by day, day by day, O dear Lord, three
things I pray: to see thee more clearly, love
thee more clearly, follow thee more clearly
day by day.

St. Richard of Chichester
