Vocation

First, what's the vocation?
Beginning to speak of 'vocation', you must first make a rightful condition, namely: <<both (then) the sacrament of marriage and the virginity for the Kingdom of God, ome from the Lord himself>> (CCC 1620) and so both are vocations. Yes, it is important to remember that the life that God has given us is a vocation to love God and persons, each in his measure and his own state of life, otherwise we might be like that nice girl who for some time did not sleep the night ... and you would like to know why? Well, because he thought that this mysterious vocation could come to her as a person and say so: Hi, I am the vocation!
And she had no desire to meet this vocation personified why he thought that the only vocation was that of the religious life! Well, I grew a little understood that every life is a calling and a vocation ... and that not everyone is called to the consecrated life but there is also the married life ... and he ended up not had so much more afraid to meet or rather to discover his vocation, the project of love that God had designed for her ...
Yes, the plan of love that God had designed for her, because for each of us God has a plan of love and peace just as he reminds us:

<<Because I know the plans I have for you about - says the Lord - plans to pace for you and not disaster, to give you a future full of hope>> (Jer 29:11).

Clarified this, speaking instead of the call to consecrated life, into the words that Jesus spoke to Andrea and John: "Come and see" (Jn 1, 39) we find the … we find the meaning and mystery of the vocation to be disciples of Jesus, contained in that indissoluble link between the priority call of God and the subsequent free response of man.

So the awareness and respect for the priority of the call of Jesus: "You did not choose me, but I chose you ..." (Jn 15:16),, excludes any claim and any forced: either by the person who can not call himself, "but I would like to become a monk, I would become a nun," because the vocation is God's initiative, both by those who collaborate divine action: no one can impose a vocation!
Hence the importance of deciphering and walk with the help of the right spiritual dynamism of vocation in its own gradual development and practical: to seek Jesus, stay with him and being sent, in all times, in every state, in its call and in its measure!
