What does vocation really mean, and why does it so often make us anxious?

In this reflection, Sr. Mary Madeline Todd, OP reminds us that vocation is not first about figuring out the future, but about recognizing a deeper truth: to be called is first to be called into being. There is no such thing as an unwanted person. If you exist, you are intentionally and lovingly called by God.

A powerful reminder that God’s love is deliberate, personal, and never accidental.
