Each vocation is unique, special, and necessary for the Church. They each come with specific graces to help the vocation to excel in holiness for the greater honor and glory of God. It cannot be said that one vocation is greater than any other if compared by their potentials for holiness. We are all aiming for the same state of holiness but we definitely are called to different degrees of service. We are equal but not the same.

A mother of five children who helps each one of them to become little saints is just as capable of holiness as a nun who spends all day in a convent praying. Likewise, a nun is just as capable of sin as is a mother.

It is important to remember that each person's vocation is preplanned by God for the best happy ending. He knows what vocation each person will choose before it is chosen, and He is always looking out for the needs of His Church.

Explore each possibility thoroughly to see if that particular lifestyle matches well to the person you want to become. Do not choose a vocation by what it will “get you”. Choose it by the plan God has for you.
