The Accompaniment in the Choice/
Selection of the State of Life
COMMUNAL VOCATION AND SPECIFIC VOCATIONS
1. The life as Vocation
- Usually, vocation is referred only to
priestly, religious
- But today, is attributed to all walks
of life
- “Calls into existence the things that
do not exist” Rom. 4:17.
- To be human is not only to have one
vocation but it, itself is a vocation
- Called to be mature and perfect the
gift of life, hence
- Invited to come out of “oneself” to
realize the encounter with other and participate well new world.
- Live the life as gifted by God and as
son of God
- GS. 19: “The root
reason for human dignity lies in man's call to communion with God. From
the very circumstance of his origin man is already invited to converse
with God”.
- As educators in the faith, must see to it
either by themselves or through others that the faithful are led
individually in the Holy Spirit to a development of their own vocation
according to the Gospel, to a sincere and practical charity, and to that
freedom with which Christ has made us free. PO 6.
- Priestly, religious are to the
sanctity – evangelical and ecclesial mission
- Various, specially: Lay, Clerical, and Consecrated life
2. Origin of the Development of the Vocation
- In every vocation there is
progressive process
- Vague
- Little clear
- More clear
- Fortified
- But never lack difficulties,
- Takes up more stability
3. Option for the Vocation
- Today choice/option is difficult
DIFFERENT FORMS OF DECISIONS
- Decision does not come isolated but
long interior psychological maturity
- It depends and differs person to
person
- There are four (4) kinds of decisions
1. Growing Decision
- Develops through mediation of
maturing interior ideals
- Years in progression
- Investigate the conscience about situation
till
- Maturity of the judgment
- Fully realize the sufficient evidence
- Needs internal potentiality of the
growth
- But it needs time to develop and guide towards action
2. Calculated Decision – Rational or Pondered
- Comes out of insecurity and
uncertainty
- Knows “where to go” but still
searches for different possibilities for better option
- Ex:
A youth wants to serve the world but does not know which direction
to take up
- Marriage or missionary
3. Daring Decision – intuitive or improvised
- Does not make any investigation with
conscience but sudden decision
- Does not investigate any factors or
possibilities but follows intuition
- No twice think – emotional reaction
- Cannot construct a valid behavior for
a definite option
- Can create problems, doubts
- Possibility for another intuition giving up the old
4. Delayed Decision
- Proper of individuals with
uncertainties, not sure of
- Perhaps little generous
- Reveal – lack of task for an option
grievous
- Lack of “willing” to take up decision
makes can earn many opportunities
- Continue to postpone the time for
option for certain information
- Uncertainty comes from the fear of
engagement too
- Easily get finished in a conflict
- However, it is too heavy to delay
Reflection
- Daring and Delayed Decisions are too
dangerous
- Growing and Calculated decision are
recommended and promoted
- However, four are important to know the stage and maturing decision in the “plan of life”.
According to the Project of God:
- “You did not choose me but I chose
you” Jn 15:16
- Vocation from the part of God is an
act of H.Sp. as an interior voice
- “To each is given the manifestation
of the Spirit for the common good” (1 Cor 12:7)
- The signs of the Divine appeal in rare direct revelation – true but got to be constructed by the other vocational discernments.
