The general call to holiness is concretized through one’s
particular vocation. The following areas are offered as an aid to become more
open to that vocation and to thus, follow Christ more closely:
PRAY…asking
the Lord to show you the vocation He has prepared for you and invites you
to embrace.
LISTEN…to
God and have the courage to respond to Him freely and generously.
RECITE…the
rosary daily, asking Mary, the Mother of Christ and the Mother of us all, to intercede
with her Son on your behalf.
MAKE…Eucharistic
Holy Hours, placing yourself in the Real Presence of the One who calls, the One who invites.
READ…and
meditate on Sacred Scripture and other good spiritual reading including the lives of the saints.
ATTEND…Mass
and receive Holy Communion as often as your state in life and current responsibilities
will allow.
GO…to
the Sacrament of Penance, frequently and
consistently.
SERVE…your
parish, and elsewhere, as needed and as you are able.
TALK…with
a priest or consecrated religious about your vocation questions and concerns,
seeking spiritual direction and guidance.
