In the sacrament of baptism we put on Christ. We are gifted with the potential to reflect Christ. Whether single or married, religious sister or brother, deacon or priest, each of us is called to help bring Christ’s salvation to the world!

As Catholics, we have grown accustomed to talking about vocations as Church ministries. Really, our vocation is participation in the essential ministry of helping one another to see our lives as a response to God’s call. Baptism is a call to action!

As baptized Christians, we pursue our work, leisure, and everything in between with a commitment to serve God and one another. In marriage, the bride and groom make a permanent, lifelong commitment that will reflect the love of Christ for the Church. In priesthood, a man commits his life to the people of God. A religious sister or brother makes a similar commitment to a religious community.

If you have never thought of yourself as having a vocation, now is the time to take Archbishop Dolan’s words to heart—to redefine yourself as a person whose ministry is a way of life.
