    MODULE 2 - ACTIVITIES
    Task 1
    WHAT TYPES OF VOCATIONS ARE AVAILABLE?
    Once a person takes their personal call to holiness seriously, then the other dimensions of
    Christian vocations are opened up. Another dimension is the state of life to which Christ calls
    people. There are four basic states of life within the Catholic Church: marriage, consecrated life,
    priesthood and the single state as a lay person. Here is a little insight of the four religious
    vocations that are available:
    1. Marriage Life
     A married person lives a vow of faithful love to a spouse through the sacrament of
    marriage. Husbands and wives share a self-giving, love-giving and life-giving
    relationship with their spouse, and are committed to helping their spouse grow to
    human and Christian maturity. They seek to form a family home, and are together
    the first teachers of their children in Christian faith and values. Married people may
    serve in their parish community or in the Church in a number of different ways.
    2. Single Life
     A person called to single life comes to believe that remaining single is the true and
    right way to faithfully live his or her baptismal call. Single men and women embrace
    the gift of celibacy while living alone, with a family or with others who are single.
    They are able to devote time and energy in service of others, and may serve in their
    parish community or in the Church in a number of different ways.
    3. Ordained Life
     A Catholic priest is a male ordained minister of the Church. Since they give their lives
    in total service to the Church, priests embrace the gift of celibacy and commit to a life
    of prayer. They proclaim the Good News, teach the Catholic faith, minister the
    Sacraments, work to build up their local faith community and lead their faith
    community in worship. Most priests will minister in a parish setting, while others may
    serve as chaplains to universities, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces and other
    industries.
    4. Religious Life
     A religious priest, brother or sister (nun) commits his or her life to sharing in the life
    and mission of their religious community. Religious priests, brothers and sisters
    embrace the call to poverty, chastity and obedience, and nurture their call through a
    life of celibacy, faith, prayer and service. Religious priests, brothers and sisters serve
    in areas such as education, health care, parish, youth ministry, aged care,
    spirituality, pastoral ministry, social work, amongst the poor and as a contemplative,
    and many will serve as missionaries in other cultures. Depending on the religious
    order, they may dress in 'normal' clothes or in a habit.
    Discussion 1: One Hard Decision to Make
    Back when I was in high school, I got invited by an old friend in attending at a church
    event which is with a religion different from mine. I decided to accept the invitation and after
    that, I started attending their weekly church events. To make the long story short, something
    has happened and because of that, I felt like I was not accepted in that church anymore. With
    that, even though I really enjoy attending their church events, I decided to just let go. I did not
    have any regrets with that decision since I noticed that after that, my relationship with my father
    was fixed because I did not have to lie to him just to attend the events in the church. Also, the
    feeling of not being accepted was gone and I felt peace within myself.
