Q. Every now and then I get a strong feeling that I should serve God in religious life. I’m confused about this because I don’t know where to start. How does one know whether or not God is calling him?
A. You’re talking about your vocation. A vocation (from the Latin vocare, "to call") is a summons from God to serve Him in one of the traditional three states of life: married, single, and consecrated (priesthood or religious life).A subscription is required to access this content.
