Catholic Introduction OCIA Session 11 Holy Orders & Vocations (https://www.smartguy.com/) Welcome back! Last time we explored the sacrament of Marriage - how two people, with Christ at the center, become a sign of God’s love for the world. Today we turn to another sacrament of service: Holy Orders. At the same time, we’ll look at the bigger picture: vocation. That’s a word Catholics love to use. It comes from the Latin vocare, which means “to call.” A vocation isn’t just a career or a hobby. It’s the way God calls you to love and serve in the world. For some, that call is to marriage. For others, it’s to religious life or priesthood. And for most of us, it includes a call to live our faith in daily life as lay people. Whatever the form, vocation is God’s invitation to joy.
