Reflection for July 21

Vocation
Vocation has to do with recognizing life as a gift and honoring the gift in living…. In the Gospel, vocation means being a human being, now, and being neither more, nor less, than a human being now. And, thus, each and every decision, whether it seems great or small, whether obviously or subtly a moral problem, becomes and is a vocational event, secreting, as it were, the very issue of existence (William Stringfellow, A Second Birthday).
