Vocations
"Dear young people, do not be afraid of the definitive choices that shape your future. Entrust your lives to Christ, because He knows what is in your hearts even better than you do yourselves. Listen to His voice in the depths of your conscience, and let Him guide you to the vocation He has prepared for you—be it marriage, priesthood, religious life, or a generous commitment in the lay state. Your vocation is a gift, a call to love."
— Adapted from various addresses by St. John Paul II, including his Message for the 19th World Youth Day (2004)
"My vocation, at last I have found it—my vocation is love! Yes, I have found my place in the Church, and it is You, O my God, who have given me this place; in the heart of the Church, my Mother, I shall be love."
- St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Story of a Soul (Chapter IX).
