Pastoral Care of Vocations and Personal Identity

Adam Skreczko

Abstract

In its mission of evangelization, the Church has focused on pastoral care of vocations in recent years. Confronted with the many challenges facing civilization and the progressive secularization of the societies of materialistic Europe, the Church has been seeking appropriate methods, means, and formation strategies to help young people recognize their vocation. Undoubtedly today many formators and vocation animators are aware of the significant role that the psychological sciences play in the understanding human identity. God is always calling, but man alone can respond.

In the human formation and maturation process, a person has the opportunity to come to know himself and understand his own history. A person who has responded to God’s call must also agree to ongoing long-term formation. From this point of view, personal accompaniment plays an important role, since no person is capable of progressing towards human and spiritual maturity alone.
