The word vocations comes from the Latin word vocare, which means “to call.”

Four Main Vocations :

GROUP 1: Priesthood - Priest is a male ordained minister of the Church. Because priests give their lives in total service to the Churc

sacraments, build up their local faith community, and lead their faith community in worship.

GROUP 2: Religious Life - Religious priests, brothers, and sisters(nuns) commit their lives to sharing in the life and mission of the
religious community. They embrace the call to poverty, chastity, and obedience; and nurture their call through a life of celibacy, fait
prayer, and service.

Keep in Mind for the next activity: The Three Levels of Vocation (Each member should copy the level of vocation for the next activity)

1. Human Vocation - This is the first call that we receive from God. We are first and foremost born as human beings. To be a real hum
being, we need to ensure ourselves of the four essentials of being human.
a. dignity (being created in the image of God)
b. intelligence (being able to ask intelligent questions and seek answers)
c. feelings (being able to sympathize with others)
d. etiquette ( being able to conduct ourselves accordingly with good manners and right conduct)

2. Christian Vocation - The second call that we receive from God is the call to become His disciples. Jesus has given concrete examples of how
be His real disciples:

1. loving one’s enemy

2. turning the other cheek
3. going the extra mile
4. taking up one’s cross and following Jesus daily

3. Chosen Vocation - The third call that we receive from God is the call to live life according to our own free choice, where we can be our be
selves and be closest to God. The essentials of fulfilling our chosen vocation lies in the conduct of four cardinal virtues.

1. Prudence - is the moral virtue that disposes practical reason to discern what is truly good in every circumstance and to choose the rig
means of achieving it.
2. Justice - is the moral virtue that consists in the constant and firm will to give what is due to God and neighbor.
3. Fortitude - is the moral virtue that ensures firmness in difficulties and constancy in pursuit of the good.
4. Temperance - is the moral virtue that moderates the attraction of pleasures and provides balance in the use of created goods.
Needs and Wants
= Needs refers to an individual's basic requirement that must be fulfilled, in order to survive.
Example: Clothes, food, shelter.
= Wants are described as the goods and services, which an individual likes to have,
as a part of his caprices for example computer, cellphone and laptop.

Kilos loob at isip

Isaisip: Inyong alalahanin na ang isip ay bunga ng pandama na mayroon ang isang tao, na
kadalasan ay bunga ng kanyang mga nakikita, naririnig, nararamdaman, sinasalita, at
nalalasahan. Ang isip ay may kakayahan ding manghusga, mangatwiran, at umunawa ng mga
pangyayari sa kanya. Samantala, ang kilos loob o pagkilos ay tumutukoy sa paggawa ng isang
bagay ayon sa nais ng ating isipan. Sa madaling salita, ang ating isipan ang siyang
nagkokontrol sa ating kilos loob.

Panlabas na Pandama - ang paningin, pandinig, pandama, pang-amoy, at panlasa,

nagkakaroon ang tao ng direktang ugnayan sa reyalidad. Ang reyalidad ang siyang
nagpapakilos sa kapangyarihan o kakayahang makaalam.

Ang mga Panloob na Pandama - ay ang kamalayan, memorya, imahinasyon, at instinct.

Nangangahulugan lamang na nagsisimula ng gumana ang isip kapag nalinang na ang pandama
ng tao. Ang isip ay walang taglay na kaalaman o ideya mula sa kapanganakan ng tao. Ang
kilos-loob ay umaasa ito sa isip, kaya’t mula sa panghuhusga ng isip ay sumusunod ang
malayang pagnanais ng kilos-loob.
