F. "Respond To Your True Calling" (Rev. Ricardo Bailey)

Your vocation is the way God intends for you to live your life. Perhaps you have considered being a priest, sister, deacon or religious brother. Maybe you want a career in Business, Health Care, Law Enforcement, Entertainment or some other profession. Then there's marriage and single life that are also Christian vocations. Whatever your true calling is, do you hear it? Are you preparing for it? Are you able to answer? "Have you or any of your peers gotten lost by listening to the wrong call?"
