Take thou our minds, dear Lord, we humbly pray,
give us the mind of Christ each passing day;
teach us to know the truth that sets us free;
grant us in all our thoughts to honor thee.

Take thou ourselves, O Lord, heart, mind, and will;
through our surrendered souls thy plans fulfill.
We yield ourselves to theetime, talents, all;
we hear, and henceforth heed, thy sovereign call.

Glory be to the father...
Think of a time when a group that you were
part of was given a task to do.
What was the task?
How did the group get it done?
Did different people do different things? Why
or why not?
Each of us has a role
to play in this
world.



What am I
suppose to
do in my life?
Where do I get
this calling
(vocation)?
The anointing by the Holy Spirit marked Jesus as:
By Baptism, all of us share in
the great mission of Jesus
to bring about the reign of
God. This means that each
of us is called to live a holy
life of service in our church
and in our would (Read
Luke 10:1-24)
Our anointing at Baptism
makes us share in Christs
role as priest, prophet, and
king. We share in Christs
priestly mission. This is
known as the priesthood of
the faithful.
.. In accord with the condition proper to each one.
In the priesthood of the faithful, each and every
one of us is called to:
Worship God
Spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Serve one another and the Church
How is priesthood of the
faithful different from
ministerial priesthood?
In the sacrament of the Holy Orders,
priests and bishops become
member of the ordained
priesthood. They participate in
Christs priestly mission in a
special way. They receive the
grace to act in the name of and in
the person of Christ.
Being part of the priesthood of the
faithful in not the same as being
ordained priest. However, members
of the priesthood of the faithful
work with ordained priests to lead
and care for Gods people.


As baptized Catholics, Jesus calls us to work for
the reign of God in whatever vocation we
choose. These are some of the vocations to
which Jesus calls His people:
married people,
single people and
ordained ministers.
