Is Vocation Only for Priests and Nuns? Understanding God's Call

Building on their previous discussion about the youth and priestly vocation, this episode explores the universal call to holiness and how every person, whether single, married, or called to religious life, can respond to God's invitation.

Father Harvey shares his insights on discerning between two good choices, understanding God's timing, and allowing our experiences to deepen our capacity to love and serve. The conversation also looks at the experiences of young people during and after the pandemic, their growing leadership in the Church, and the challenges they face in navigating relationships, social issues, and their faith.

One important reminder emerges throughout the conversation: young people do not need adults who simply tell them what to do. They need people willing to walk alongside them.

As Father Harvey reminds us, accompaniment means journeying together, neither ahead nor behind, but side by side.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

• Is vocation exclusively about becoming a priest or religious sister? Understanding the universal call to holiness.

• How to discern between two good choices and recognize God's invitation in our lives.

• How vocation transforms us, deepens our understanding of love, and teaches us to give ourselves in service.

• The impact of the pandemic on young people, including their leadership, creativity, faith, and social challenges.

• Why listening, loving without judgment, and accompanying young people are essential in helping them navigate life and grow closer to God.

We also talk about World Youth Day, the upcoming gathering in South Korea, and the importance of bringing the World Youth Day
