Editorial of Sr. Mary Immaculate Makina, General Councillor
From generation to generation, Wisdom has called people of different walks of life to a life of adventure with Her. “Daughters of Wisdom, by our entire life we express the ardent love of Wisdom, who proposes a way of true happiness to everyone, ´Listen, come to me; I want to make you happy´. (RL 1) God’s call is a call to a life of happiness. Every Christian, through baptism, is called to holiness. We are invited to pay attention to Wisdom’s voice through our different daily mediations.
In everyday language, the word vocation is used to refer to the calling that people may feel for a particular mission. However, in the Christian language, it refers to the inner movement by which a person is called to devote him/herself to God’s service. It is letting ourselves be guided daily by Jesus Christ. When we allow Jesus to lead us each day, we learn to have joy in every circumstance of our life.
Pope Francis in his message for the 2023 World Day of Prayer for Vocations, said “the Lord’s call is grace, complete gift, and at the same time a commitment to bring the Gospel to others. We are called to the faith that bears witness, one that closely connects the life of grace, as experienced in the sacraments and ecclesial communion, to our apostolate in the world”. We are called to bear a joyful witness to our faith wherever we are, especially in our mission.
