The most rewarding part of my work with the Concentration in Catholic Social Tradition is the students who have entered the program. I have been asked what characteristics, if any, these students share. They are a quite diverse group, running the full gamut of majors. A vocation is a life activity through which a person works out in a deliberate fashion her or his relationship with God and neighbor.
Most adults have multiple vocations, really, such as work and family.
Many Catholics do not undertake the process of attempting to live the social teachings. The question arises as to why. The answer here is also obviously complex, but two factors are worth discussing. Then, too, by God's gifts they must hold on to and complete in their lives this holiness which they have received. It is clear that the Council does not understand holiness as disconnected from activity in the world.
