Do You Have A Vocation?
There are many vocations within the
Evangelical Catholic Church. They
are usually to three different
callings:
1. The priesthood. Besides the
common priesthood that all the
baptized possess, there is also the
ordained priesthood. Clerics are
those who are deacons, priests, and
bishops.
2. Consecrated life. Those in
consecrated life may be men or
women. They are religious, sisters,
monks, consecrated persons in
secular institutes or societies of
apostolic life.
3. Married life. Those who are
called to marriage enter a union
patterned after the marriage of
Christ and His Church. The sacrament
of matrimony gives the strength for
spouses united by the lifelong bond
to be good followers of the Lord.
Most Christians are called to one of
these vocations. There are some
people, however, who remain single
or cannot enter a different state in
life for one reason or another. They
should love and serve God in the
best way that they can given their
circumstances.
