“Now, the Spirit we have received is not the spirit of the world, but God’s own Spirit, so that we may understand the lavish gifts God has given us.” 1 Corinthians 2: 12
Welcome to Issue 49 of The Record Magazine. This issue is dedicated to the theme of Vocation, particularly in this Jubilee Year. Speaking on Good Shepherd Sunday – a day to pray for vocations – on 11 May 2025, Pope Leo XIV expressed his joy in being able to pray together with all the People of God for vocations, especially to the priesthood and consecrated life.
We look at the meaning of vocation in our modern world, not as a personal journey but as a gift for the whole Church.
We celebrate the recent National Vocations Week, clergy anniversaries, discuss how to help students who are discerning their vocation, and talk with Little Sisters of the Poor and about the vocation of marriage.
