I Have Called You: An Introduction to Vocations
Formed in Christ Series · Published by TAN Books
Overview
Every human person is called by God to holiness. Yet that universal call is lived out in unique and personal ways through the vocation and state of life God has prepared for each individual. I Have Called You: An Introduction to Vocations helps students understand the Church's teaching on vocation and discover how God invites every person into a life of communion, service, and sanctity.
Part of the Formed in Christ series, this course explores the universal call to holiness and examines the primary vocations through which Catholics live out their discipleship. Drawing from Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church's Magisterium, students learn about the beauty and purpose of Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders, and the consecrated religious life, while gaining a deeper appreciation for God's personal plan for each soul.
Written in clear and accessible language, I Have Called You encourages readers to view vocation not merely as a future decision, but as an ongoing response to God's love and invitation. By understanding the Church's vision of community, sacrifice, service, and holiness, students are equipped to discern their own path and respond generously to the Lord's call.
