CULTIVATING THE MIND
▪ In every calling of God, there is
always a purpose, a mission.

communal character of human
vocation.

CULTIVATING THE MIND

communal character of human vocation,

discerning one's calling in relationship
with others.

understanding that God calls individuals
to holiness within the context of the
Christian community, the Church.
