Summary/Abstract: Every person is called by God, although there are different types of vocations (cf. 1 Cor 12:5). But not every person can properly discern one’s own vocation and respond positively to the voice of God who calls to the priesthood or the consecrated life. Scriptural texts speaking about the calling of individual persons are helpful, but first and foremost important is the atmosphere of the family home. Biblical texts speak of the families from which those called came from. The Church repeatedly teaches about the role and tasks of families in discerning and nurturing of vocations. There are also numerous statements made by people dedicated to the service of God, which testify to the irreplaceable role of their families in the discernment and maturation of their own vocation.
