The Connection Between Vocation and Mission According to Pope Francis

Pope Francis releases his Message for the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, emphasizing that each human person is chosen by God and called to bring the Gospel to others. He highlights that every baptized Christian is called to bear joyful witness to our experience of Jesus through spiritual and corporal works of mercy. The Pope notes that God’s call comes within the community of the Church, which is a vocational symphony with every vocation united yet distinct, in harmony and joined together in going forth to radiate throughout the world the new life of the kingdom of God.
