FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Pastors Corner
My dear brothers and sisters,
This weekend, we welcome Father Lauro
Minimo, Director of the Office of Vocations for
the Diocese of San Diego, to share with us the
call of all members of the Church to promote
Vocations to the priesthood.
In his 2016 letter for the World Day for
Vocations, Pope Francis wrote the following:
Vocations are born within the Church. From the
moment a vocation begins to become
evident, it is necessary to have an adequate
sense of the Church. No one is called
exclusively for a particular region, or for a
group or for an ecclesial movement, but rather
for the Church and for the world. A sure sign
of the authenticity of a charism is its ecclesial
character, its ability to be integrated
harmoniously into the life of Gods holy and
faithful people for the good of all (ibid., 130).
In responding to Gods call, young people see
their own ecclesial horizon expand; they are
able to consider various charisms and to
undertake a more objective discernment. In
this way, the community becomes the home
and the family where vocations are born.
Candidates gratefully contemplate this
mediation of the community as an essential
element for their future. They learn to know and
to love their brothers and sisters who pursue
paths different from their own; and these bonds
strengthen in everyone the communion which
they share. Vocations grow within the Church.
In the course of formation, candidates for
various vocations need to grow in their
knowledge of the ecclesial community,
overcoming the limited perspectives that we all
have at the beginning. To that end, it is helpful
to undertake some apostolic experience
together with other members of the
community, for example: in the company of a
good catechist, to communicate the Christian
message; together with a religious community,
to experience the evangelisation of the
peripheries sharing in the life of the cloister, to
discover the treasure of contemplation; in
contact with missionaries, to know more closely
the mission ad gentes; and in the company of
diocesan priests, to deepen ones experience
of pastoral life in the parish and in the diocese.
For those who are already in formation, the
3
JULY 16, 2017
ecclesial community always remains the
fundamental formational environment,
towards which one should feel a sense of
gratitude. Vocations are sustained by the
Church. After definitive commitment, our
vocational journey within the Church does not
come to an end, but it continues in our
willingness to serve, our perseverance and our
ongoing formation. The one who has
consecrated his life to the Lord is willing to
serve the Church wherever it has need. The
mission of Paul and Barnabas is a good
example of this readiness to serve the Church.
Sent on mission by the Holy Spirit and by the
community of Antioch (cf. Acts 13, 1-4), they
returned to that same community and
described what the Lord had worked through
them (cf. 14: 27). Missionaries are
accompanied and sustained by the Christian
community, which always remains a vital point
of reference, just as a visible homeland offers
security to all who are on pilgrimage towards
eternal life.
Among those involved in pastoral activity,
priests are especially important. In their
ministry, they fulfill the words of Jesus, who
said: I am the gate of the sheepfold [] I am
the good shepherd (Jn 10: 7, 11). The pastoral
care of vocations is a fundamental part of
their ministry. Priests accompany those who
are discerning a vocation, as well as those
who have already dedicated their lives to the
service of God and of the community.
All the faithful are called to appreciate the
ecclesial dynamism of vocations, so that
communities of faith can become, after the
example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, like a
mothers womb which welcomes the gift of
the Holy Spirit (cf. Lk 1: 35-38). The motherhood
of the Church finds expression in constant
prayer for vocations and in the work of
educating and accompanying all those who
perceive Gods call. This motherhood is also
expressed through a careful selection of
candidates for the ordained ministry and for
the consecrated life. Finally, the Church is the
mother of vocations in her continual support
of those who have dedicated their lives to the
service of others.
