Every Christian's vocation is to love.

"Follow the way of love, even as Christ loved you." (Eph 5:2).

As followers of Jesus, we love God and our sisters and brothers in ways unique to God's call to us. To which vocation in life are we called? Parents can assist children in hearing God's call to them by treating each child with reverence, creating a life of prayer at home, and developing in their children a sense of gratitude for God's gifts to them.
