The Good Shephard by: Donal Neary SJ
Following one’s vocation is a response from within to the needs out-
side us. A decision to work for the poor or assist people in need is not
necessarily a vocation. A vocation meets the human needs of the
world with a motivation from within. We care for our children and
grandchildren not just because they are sick or insecure, but because
we love them. This love will move us out to help them in various situa-
tions. We find a call to be ‘people for others’ because our heart teach-
es us with Jesus that we are all brothers and sisters, and that God
wants to save the world, and needs our help to do so.
This is the Sunday we all pray that our particular vocation in life may
become clear and may become stronger.
A Call for All
God calls each of us to love God and love our neighbor. This is the
first Christian calling; we then find the best way for each of us with our
own particular set of gifts, talents and even weaknesses to live out
that call to love.
We think especially today of religious life and priesthood. There are
needs for priests, sisters and brothers in most parts of the world. As a
community in families and parishes we thank those who have given
their lives in these vocations and pray they may increase.
RCIA is a journey of conversion to God and what He intends for us. The Catholic Church warmly welcomes new members and tries to provide appropriate spiritual formation according to each person’s needs. If you are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, please contact Fr. Marcus. Si usted está interesado en aprender más sobre la fe católica, póngase en contacto con el p. Marcus.
