Our Shared Call to Vocation

Archbishop Jeffrey S. Grob describes the connection between Christian vocation and holiness in a reflection for the Catholic Herald. He explains that vocation is not merely a job or occupation, but a response to a call from God.

Grob notes that every Christian vocation begins with a personal encounter with God through Baptism. He cites the Catechism of the Catholic Church to define the common vocation of all Christians as disciples, which is a call to holiness and the mission of evangelizing the world. This shared vocation is rooted in Baptism and strengthened through Confirmation and the Eucharist. According to Grob, this common call to holiness is expressed through an individual's particular vocation and their daily response to God.
