Vocation is also in each one of us the central point of our life. It is the axis around which everything else is organized. Everything or almost everything depends on knowing and fulfilling what God asks of us.
To follow and love one's vocation is the most important and the most joyful thing in life. But in spite of the fact that vocation is the key that opens the doors to true happiness, there are those who do not want to know it, who prefer to do their own will instead of the Will of God, to remain in a guilty ignorance instead of seeking with all sincerity the way in which they will be happy, will surely reach Heaven and will make many others happy.
The Lord makes particular appeals: also today. He needs us. Moreover, he calls us all with a holy vocation: an invitation to follow him in a new life whose secret he possesses: if anyone wants to come after me ..... We have all received through Baptism a vocation to seek God in fullness of love. "For ordinary life, the life we live among our fellow citizens, our equals, is not something flat and unremarkable. It is precisely in these circumstances that the Lord wants the vast majority of his children to be sanctified.
"It is necessary to repeat again and again that Jesus did not address himself to a group of privileged people, but came to reveal to us the universal love of God. All men are loved by God, from all of them he expects love. From all, whatever their personal conditions, their social position, their profession or trade. Ordinary life is not of little value: all the roads of the earth can be the occasion of an encounter with Christ, who calls us to identify ourselves with him, in order to fulfill - in the place where we are - his divine mission.
"God calls us through the incidents of everyday life, in the suffering and joy of the people with whom we live, in the human concerns of our companions, in the trifles of family life. God also calls us through the great problems, conflicts and tasks that define each historical epoch, attracting the efforts and hopes of a large part of humanity".
The Lord's call to greater dedication urges us, among other reasons, because the harvest is plentiful and the workers are few10. And there are harvests that are lost every day because there is no one to gather them.
Let it be done to me according to your word, says Our Lady. And we contemplate her radiant with joy. As we pray, we can ask ourselves: Do I seek God in my work or in my studies, in my family, in the street... in everything? Am I bold in the apostolate? Does the Lord want something more from me?
