Living in the state to which God has called us

Saint Alphonsus of Liguori (d. 1787), Advice on the Religious Vocation: “It is worth noting that the question of vocation is considered by many people in the world to be of little importance. It seems to them that it makes no difference whether one lives in the state to which God has called them or in the one they have chosen according to their own ideas. Hence, so many disordered lives and so many damnations.”
