VOCATION (defined byy tehe catholic church) is a divine call or election, of a revelatory character (such as God), addressed to religiously gifted or charismatic personalities. It forms the first phase of their initiation into an often unwillingly accepted intermediary function between human society and the sacred world. Unlike functionaries with a special, well-defined religious task in a given group or culture (such as priests or even heads of families and elderly men, who bring offerings and give religious instruction), vocation is often felt by persons outside or on the fringe of the established institutions, whose charismatic and often abnormal psychic character makes them appear as prophets, founders or reformers of religion, saints, or shamans. Those called, therefore, often make their appearance in periods of social turmoil or crisis. Sometimes they start a new religious movement that implies a break with the past, or else they exorcise illness, famine, or drought, which destabilize personal or social health. Vocation (defined in general) is an occupation, either professional or voluntary, that is carried out more for its altruistic benefit than for income, which might be regarded as a secondary aspect of the vocation, however beneficial. Vocations can be seen as providing a psychological or spiritual need for the worker, and the term can also be used to describe any occupation for which a person is specifically gifted, and usually implies that the worker has a form of "calling" for the task. •	Vocation has a great deal of elements including work, personal development personal growth, career and possibly marriage. •	‘Vocation’ has a much broader reality than that of a job. •	God has given each person particular gifts needed to follow their vocation whatever role they may pursue. Many forms of humanitarian campaigning, such as work for organisations such as Amnesty International and Greenpeace can also be considered vocations, although the term tends to imply that the activity is a full-time job rather than a part-time activity or hobby, which would be called an avocation. The Catholic Churches Understanding of ‘Work’

•	Something that every human being has been created by God to do. •	The catholic church believes it is much broader than ‘having a job’.

The Catholic Churches understanding of God’s work.

It isn’t essentially referred too as ‘work’ but as ‘God’s creative activity’. This activity: •	Sustains the existence of the universe, developing its existience. •	Is able to be carried out by sustaining and developing the goddness oof thee earth, its resources and its life.
