TRANSCRIPT
Fostering a Culture of Vocations
Both men and women can
join religious orders. The life
and rules of religious orders
vary greatly; each order can
be defined by their charism
or primary function. Some
are devoted to a life of
solitary prayer, others work
in schools, hospitals, etc.
Religious brothers, sisters,
and priests make vows of
poverty, chastity, and
obedience.
Some people are called to
live out their call to holiness
as single persons through
various professions and
ministries not marrying and
not professing vows. By
serving God, their neighbor,
and the Church, single
people contribute greatly to
society and the Body of
Christ by being witnesses of
God’s self-sacrificial love.
Most people are called to
married life. Married persons
share their call to holiness in
this vocation by leading their
spouse and children to
Heaven. This is done
through complete gift of self,
laying down one’s life for
one’s family, handing on the
faith, and living by holy
example. This, like any
vocation, must be discerned.
MARRIED LIFE Priests live out their call to
holiness by administering the
sacraments, preaching, and
leading others to Christ.
Priests offer counsel and
spiritual direction to those
they serve in their parishes,
schools, and various other
ministries throughout the
Archdiocese. Priests promise
to live a life of prayer,
obedience and celibacy.

Consider praying this prayer every day.
Father, You invite each one of us by name and ask us to follow
you. We ask that you bless your church in the Archdiocese of
Newark by raising up dedicated and generous leaders from our
families and friends who will faithfully serve your people
as Priests, Religious Brothers and Sisters, and as holy
Married and Single people. Inspire us to grow in our
relationship with you and open our hearts to accept your
invitation. We ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.

No vocation is without sacrifice, but it is that same sacrifice that bears much fruit.
