A seed planted on dry ground will not take root, but a seed that falls on good soil will bear much fruit. A vocation cannot expect to take root in a lifestyle that is not Christ-like. Christians are called to live a different way of life than what is promoted by the world. Choices must be made to not participate in bad actions. It takes a great deal of strength to live a good Christian lifestyle without being tempted to falter in the small things. That is why it is also important to have friends and family members who will support the Christian way. Without them the journey is much more difficult. Good vocations empower other vocations. Be sure to be living good healthy Christ-like relationships with both men and women.
