Excerpt from The Religious State: Together With a Short Treatise on the Vocation to the Priesthood; Translated From the Italian St. Alphonsus De Liguori, Doctor of the Church

Of God, and not according to our own will (de Sing. Den); and therefore St. Paul writes: Every one hath his proper gift from God (i Cor. Vii. That is, as Cornelius a Lapide explains it, God gives to every one his vocation, and chooses the state in which he wishes him to be saved. This is the order Of predestination de scribed by the same apostle: Whom he predestinated, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified, and them he also glorified (rom. Viii.

We must remark that in the world this doctrine of vocation is not much studied by some persons. They think it to be all the same, whether they live in the state to which God calls them, or in that which they choose Of their own inclination, and therefore SO many live a bad life and damn themselves.

Excerpt from The Religious State: Together With a Short Treatise on the Vocation to the Priesthood; Translated From the Italian St. Alphonsus De Liguori, Doctor of the Church

It is evident that our eternal salvation depends principally upon the choice of our state of life. Father Granada calls this choice the chief wheel of our whole life. Hence, as when in a clock the chief wheel is deranged the whole clock is also deranged, so, in the order of our salvation, if we make a mistake as to the state to which we are called, our whole life, as St. Gregory says, will be an error.

If, then, in the choice of a state of life we wish to secure our eternal salvation, we must embrace that to which God calls us, in which alone God prepares for us the efficacious means necessary to our salvation.
