Above all, everyone is called by God to take their appropriate place in the world: as a husband, a wife, a father, a mother, a clerk, a worker &#8211; it is all a question of vocation; it is a call from God.<br \/>There are as many as thirty-three thousand different vocations. God determines our work through such or other interests, hobbies, and abilities, through such or other health and material conditions. God honors some people with a particularly noble vocation: priestly or religious: He speaks to them as to Nathanael: &#8220;You shall see greater things than these&#8230; You shall see heaven open.&#8221; The Son of God was also called to his work of salvation.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">God had our vocation even before we were born; more than that, He gave us birth for that reason &#8211; for the sake of the work and the plan to be carried out on earth. We have free will &#8211; it is up to God and us whether we open ourselves to the treasures God wants to bestow on us.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are more or less noble vocations, more or less complicated; one thing is sure: fields are not accessible. God is not satisfied with cheap effects; every work is a path to heights. We often hear: that God asks hard things of me: sacrifice, faithfulness, forgiveness, perseverance in adversity, patience in sickness. But let us realize: The Lord Jesus does not speak to his called ones: &#8220;Go!&#8221; but says: &#8220;Follow me.&#8221;<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">When He calls a man, Christ goes before him, shows and shows the way, strengthens by His presence, and encourages by His example; the called one follows in His footsteps. The call did not end with a one-time call, but every hour the Lord calls us anew, from one task to another, and these tasks no one performs for us.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am created to do what no one but me was made to do. I have my place in God&#8217;s plans, a place that I alone occupy. I have my mission. Therefore, I am needed by God in my area &#8211; just as the archangel is required in his (H. Newman).<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John, Andrew, Peter, Philip, Nathanael (or Bartholomew) &#8211; these are the first fortunate ones called to follow Jesus.
