A priest in the archdiocese often asks me when I see him, “Do you have a vocation?” He presided at one of the first Masses at which I preached as a deacon. My question to the assembly that day was whether they had a vocation. The word “vocation” often makes us think of a priestly or religious vocation. But we all have a vocation to holiness. The call to holiness arises from the sacrament of baptism that we have received. Our discernment as we journey through our youthful years is to determine what path God wants us to follow in order to serve Him and to grow in holiness.
