4 Stewardship of Vocations The word vocation comes from the Latin word meaning to call. God, our Father, calls and invites every single person to a particular state or vocation in life: single life, married life, the priesthood, the diaconate, and religious life. First and foremost, a vocation is a gift from God. We do not create a vocation. We receive our vocation. God calls and offers us the gift of our vocation, and we choose to accept it or not. Just as we read in the prophet Jeremiah, the Lord, from all eternity has a plan for our lives. And His plan is what will bring us true and authentic happiness. How do we know our vocation? We ask the One who made us. Only in the silence of prayer do we come to know His plan and our vocation. Will we ask Him? What is stopping us from receiving the greatest gift of our lives? (St. JP II Newman Center) In addition to asking God what His plan is for us, God often uses us to help someone hear God s call in his or her life. For example, many people met their spouses through friends or family members who introduced them to each other. Vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life work the same way. I think many of us know someone who we think would be a good match for these special vocations. Please, tell them! Being called to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life is no less joyful than finding your future spouse. This matchmaking is a godly way of being good stewards of vocations. -Fr. Brendan Manson Please visit our Vocation Faire today, November 8th in Knight Hall from 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Administración de las Vocaciones La palabra "vocación" viene de la palabra latina que significa "llamar". Nuestro Padre, Dios, nos llama e invita a vivir en un estado en particular o a una vocación en particular: la vida de soltería, la vida matrimonial, el sacerdocio, el diaconado, y la vida religiosa. En primer lugar, la vocación es un don de Dios. Nosotros no creamos una vocación. Recibimos nuestra vocación. Dios nos llama y nos ofrece el don de la vocación, y depende de nosotros si aceptamos o no. Así como leemos en el profeta Jeremías, el Señor, desde toda la eternidad tiene un plan para nuestras vidas. Y Su plan es lo que nos traerá la felicidad verdadera y auténtica. Cómo podemos saber cual es nuestra vocación? Pedimos a Aquel que nos hizo. Sólo en el silencio de la oración llegamos a conocer su plan y nuestra vocación. Le pediremos esto? Qué nos impide recibir el regalo más grande de nuestras vidas? (San JP II Newman Center) Además de pedirle a Dios el plan que tiene para nosotros, Dios muy a menudo nos usa para ayudarle a alguien mas a escuchar el llamado de Dios en su vida. Por ejemplo, muchas personas conocieron a sus cónyuges a través de unos amigos o familiares. Las vocaciones al sacerdocio, al diaconado, y a la vida religiosa funcionan de la misma manera. Creo que muchos de nosotros conocemos a alguien que pensamos que sería un buen partido para estas vocaciones. Por favor, dígales! El ser llamado al sacerdocio, al diaconado, o a la vida religiosa no da menos alegría que encontrar su futuro cónyuge. Servir como cupido es una manera piadosa de ser buenos administradores de las vocaciones. -Padre Brendan Manson Visite la feria de Vocaciones hoy, 8 de Noviembre en el salón parroquial Knight Hall de 8:00am - 12:30pm 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 4

13 Craft Fair November 22 after morning Masses On Sunday, November 22, 2015, volunteers for Concern America will be here at St. Edward the Confessor Church with a Craft Sale featuring unique quality handcrafts that provide us with the opportunity to purchase conscientiously. The gifts we find for special events, holidays, or to brighten our own homes are an exchange of caring with impoverished communities in developing countries. This year we have many new crafts from Bangladesh, El Salvador Guatemala and Mexico. Inspired by nature, these beautifully handcrafted textiles, ceramics and wood products, honor indigenous traditions, and were selected to be reminders that when a Concern America product is purchased we are providing a source of income to materially poor communities; promoting human scale endeavors; eco-friendly work patterns; and fair working conditions. Concern America is an international development and refugee aid organization based in Santa Ana, CA.
