An Additional Note to Vocations Awareness Week

 I recently posted a video on Vocations Awareness, and I hope that it has been informative for you and your understanding of the diversity of vocations within the Catholic Church!  

I wanted to reiterate the importance that everyone is called to holiness.... so no excuses that you don't "qualify" as a lay person!  In fact, there are many rising saints who come from the laity.  I am learning this as I continue to seek God's will for my life in the different seasons as a wife and a mother.  I've got to admit, sometimes I feel like an inspired ministry I pray about depends totally on me.... then I wonder if God is calling me to do it while taking care of my children?  I'm realizing I need to build up the domestic church, that is my family, first.  But I needn't be discouraged if I need to back out of such inspirations.  I have a beautiful vocation that God wants to work with me through, and lead me to holiness!  Motherhood is amazing!

We recently celebrated the Solemnity of All Saints Day, and I hope you are feel inspired to go forward a saint yourself!  Pursue God, He is already- and always- pursuing you.
