Vocation Corner:

Say “Yes” and don’t be afraid to Commit! by Fr. Keith Romke

One issue that I see present in the lives of

many teenagers today (although we’re all susceptible!)

is the difficulty to say yes and to commit to something.

For example, one of them might receive and invitation

to go to a party on a Friday night about a week away,

and even though they are 100% open and available on

that evening, they say “Maybe” rather than saying yes.

The reason why is because they want to keep their

options open in case if a better offer comes along!

This happens all the time, and again I think this

sometimes happens to all of us. We can see a good

opportunity arise, but we’re hesitant to embrace it

because we’d rather do something great! I think that

this biggest place where this plagues individuals come

when trying to discern one’s vocation especially the

question of what God might be calling one to dedicate

their entire life to! Even if we feel called to something,

we can be hesitant to take the leap of Faith and enter

into it because we don’t know if something better might

be on the horizon. What we have to trust is that if God

is calling us and we sense this, that it WILL be what is

best for us. So too, if we assess things by our standards,

chances are that we’ll think that something else will

fulfill us more than what God is calling us to, because

more often than not the value of our vocation and the

difference that we can make in the world will not be

immediately apparent. So if God calls say YES and

prepare yourself for the time of your life!

"Are you a young professional and want to meet Catholic young adults? If so, come to 815 Catholic! 815 Catholic is a monthly event at Prairie Street Brewhouse. 200 Prairie St., Rockford. It is from 7-9 On the third Tuesday of every month The night consists of FREE beer, fellowship/networking with friends, and some great faith formation from Catholic speakers. All are welcome and it is a FREE event."
