On this Vocation Sunday, we are reminded to honour and embody the fundamental purpose of our callings, as designated by God. Embracing this mandate enables us to fulfil the mission bestowed upon us. Just as Jesus exemplified the role of the "good shepherd," caring for and safeguarding his flock with unwavering devotion (John 10:11-18), we too are urged to understand and embrace our vocations with love and dedication. By recognizing and embracing our unique vocations, whether as clergy, religious, spouses, or individuals living a single life, we echo Jesus' proclamation as the good shepherd. It is not a declaration of pride, but a testament to our commitment to fulfilling our divine purpose.  We must acknowledge that God's choice in entrusting us with our specific vocations is never in error. Failure to earnestly pursue this mission only leads us astray from our true calling.

Let us pray for the grace to remain steadfast in our vocations, living them out faithfully and wholeheartedly
