A vocation means growth in love

| | Comments (0)
It is about a growth in love, in your life and in the Church. A calling in the Church is never a call to a job or function, but a call to a person. A vocation is an appeal to grow into a relation, a relation with God's love. A call to the three evangelical counsels is a journey of growing in love. This journey begins of course with less of His love, so that more of His love can be given to me. The One, who is more than everything else in this world, must grow in me.

(Homily at the investiture of novices "The Work," Familia Spiritualis Opus, Gregor Maria Hanke, OSB, Bishop of Eichstätt)
