The Lord has a plan, a special purpose, for each one of us. He calls us to follow that plan, to fulfill that purpose, and so to have life and have it to the fullest. This is our vocation. Together, we all have the universal call to holiness. Our vocation is how God is asking us to live that call in our particular life. This state of life will have a profound effect on how we live our lives. It will impose specific obligations and responsibilities.
