God summons each of us to holiness on earth and eternal life with him in heaven through Baptism. The general call to holiness and its significance in the Christian life are examined in this essay. It also examines God's one-of-a-kind design for each person in the vocations to Marriage, Holy Orders, the consecrated life, or the devoted single life. Finally, it describes how each person can discern God's will in his or her own life through prayer.
This book, Vocations and the Universal Call to Holiness, corresponds to Elective D: Responding to the Call of Jesus Christ in the curriculum framework.
