Module 2. Second & Third Vocation: Topic 1: Third Vocation: The Call of The Moment

This document discusses the concept of the "third vocation," which refers to the specific tasks and missions God calls a person to at a given moment, based on their circumstances in life. It provides biblical context from passages in Matthew and John to support how every aspect of a person's life can be directed towards loving God. Examples are given of saints like Therese of Lisieux who lived ordinary lives with extraordinary love by attending to others and duties well. The challenge of the third vocation is to respond to God's call to become better people in all daily situations, rather than chasing after worldly desires, but instead finding meaning through union with God.

Biblical context of the third vocation:

“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your
mind.” (Matthew 22:37)
means: loving God engages:
the total person
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+22&vers
ion=NABRE
person’s totality: engaged when:
one’s smallest desires, intentions & actions
all directed to the love of God
“Jesus never divided His life into
categories…God accepted Jesus’ total
life.”
no distinction between natural &
spiritual activities 
“I do always those things that please the
Father” (John 8:29)
every act of His life was God’s.

Every act of our lives should be a
contribution to God’s glory.
“Whether you eat or drink, do all for
the glory of God.” (I Cor 10:31)
“In Him we live and move and have
our being” (Acts 17:28)

• St. Therese of Lisieux…lived each day with
an unshakable confidence in God's love
• "What matters in life is not great deeds, but
great love.“
• Therese lived and taught a spirituality of
attending to everyone and everything well
and with love
• Therese's spirituality is of doing the ordinary,
with extraordinary love…

Challenge of third sense of vocation:
In the different circumstances, situations &
challenges of daily life, no matter how
trivial, we must respond to God’s call to us
to become better human beings
…not chase sex, drugs, travel, houses,
fame, “likes,” retweets, and on goes the
list to the point of sedating ourselves
…but to pursue the supernatural high
that explodes interiorly from a personal
union with God
