Mission in the Bible

Biblically:
vocation & mission are always connected
when God calls a person, He also has a mission for that
person
when Jesus called his Apostles, he later on gave them a
mission
Profession
etymology: Latin professio, from profiteri: “declare publicly”
Old French  Middle English (denoting the vow
made on entering a religious order)
(sense 1) derives from the notion of an occupation
that one ‘professes’ to be skilled in
https://bit.ly/profdef1
definition:
profession: a paid occupation, especially one that involves
prolonged training and a formal qualification
https://bit.ly/profdef1
vocation & profession: similarities &
differences
 based on the original (first use) of the word vocation:
vocation & profession are different: vocation properly
refers only to the calling to priesthood or the religious life
hence, if you are neither a priest or a religious, you do not
have a vocation
this being so, means that in the matter of earning a living or
money, vocation & profession are also different
earning a living or money is not the primary reason a
person would have in becoming a priest or a religious
vocation & profession: similarities &
differences, cont’d…
 based on training & qualification:
vocation & profession are similar: both need to meet up
certain qualifications & both need arduous or at least a long
period of preparation
 based on recent teachings, even of the Catholic Church:
vocation cannot be equated with profession, it is something
greater
yet, one’s profession may or could be considered a vocation
…greater development in the Church teaching:
 everyone now has a vocation—not just the priests & religious
persons
after all, God the Father & Jesus Christ both call upon us!
this we may call as our primary vocation
