===Concept=== The idea of vocation is central to the Christian belief that God has created each person with gifts and talents oriented toward specific purposes and a way of life. In the broadest sense, as stated in the ''[[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]'', "''Love'' is the fundamental and innate vocation of every human being".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Catechism of the Catholic Church β part 3, section 2, chapter 2, article 6 |url=https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P88.HTM |access-date=2023-03-11 |website=The Holy See}}</ref> More specifically, in the [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]] and Catholic Churches, this idea of vocation is especially associated with a divine call to service to the Church and humanity through particular vocational life commitments such as [[marriage]] to a particular person, [[consecration]] as a religious dedication, [[ordination]] to priestly ministry in the Church and even a holy life as a single person. In the broader sense, Christian vocation includes the use of one's gifts in their profession, family life, church and civic commitments for the sake of the greater common good.
