I came across this in my journal today as I was writing an article about St. Ignatius. Jim Manney posted this piece by Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, SJ on the dotMagis blog in September, and I must have liked it so much, that I copied it into my journal.
“Human life has meaning. We are not aimless beings, without a goal or purpose. We have been created by a God who loves us. We are called to build the Kingdom of God by knowing, loving and serving God and other people and thus entering life everlasting….
God calls each and every one of us to share in a great enterprise. The lay person has a vocation, just as the religious and the priest has. The one thing that matters is to recognize our calling and respond to it faithfully…” To read the rest…
What is your calling?
How are you responding to it?
