    To formally make a person part of a group.
  • Vocation
    :
    A calling by God to holiness. Everyone has a permanent vocation in life, either to priesthood or religious life, marriage, or consecrated single life. We are all called to pursue holiness in every situation we find ourselves in life. (44, 944, 2021, 2253, 2461, 1593, 1661)

    Carrying forth the Good News of salvation to every sector of the human race so that by its strength it may enter the hearts of men and renew the human race. The Church exists to evangelize, by her preaching and teaching, to be the channel of God’s grace in the world, to reconcile sinners to God, and to perpetuate Christ’s sacrifice in the Mass.
  • Gospel
    :
    “Good News.” Jesus preached the Good News, or gospel message, of salvation: that now was the time for God’s Kingdom to begin on earth. (849)
