Catholic Kermit

The best way that I think we can encourage vocations is by presenting “ALL” the vocations.  In an audio talk by Scott Hahn called, “Vocations in Scripture: Discovering & Discerning God’s Call,” (#5627-CD) he does just that.  He begins his talk by saying we all have the same inherit primary vocation, and that’s to be a “child of God the Father” by accepting Jesus and living active christian lives.  Besides that, we can live out our faith through the vocations of single life, married life, religious life, or the priesthood.  He then details each one as seen through Scripture.  I think that is how we should encourage vocations.  We need to present ALL of them as equally necessary, yet individually unique.  I think that approach would make people more open to priesthood and the religious life, because I wouldn’t be seen as so far removed from each of us.  — Kermit?  Anyone?
