what do vocation mean
A vocation (from Latin vocÄtiÅ, meaning a call, summons) is an occupation to which a person is specially drawn or for which she/he is suited, trained, or qualified. Though now often used in non-religious contexts, the meanings of the term originated in Christianity.
In the simplest terms, âvocationâ means a âcall.â So, in general terms your vocation is what God calls you to do with your life. Everybody is called by God to know, love and serve him. The difference is how each one does this. Individual vocations vary between being single, married, consecrated, religious or a priest. However, we usually use âVocationâ to mean a call to the consecrated, religious or priestly life.
