The Callings

There are three essential callings that culminate in that particular calling we know as our vocation.

to Be

The calling to existence.
Something we share with all creation.

to holiness

The calling to eternal life.
Something we share with all men.

to a State of life

The calling to love.
Something God reserves for us alone.

Where do I start in Discerning my Vocation?

Discernment starts with building a solid spiritual life.
It's true that God does not call the prepared but prepares the called; but it is equally true that with our gift of freedom we should prepare the foundations for whatever vocation He calls us to.

Prayer

Daily contact with God through prayer is first.

Virtue

Freedom, a key to following God's will, is found in virtue.

Sacraments

Grace is the life of our soul and the "sap" of holiness.
