Junipero Serra was a man who lived his life serving God. Early in his life, he was a Franciscan teacher in Spain. Later, he received a call from God to become a missionary. Obeying God’s request, Junipero Serra spread God’s love and word through Mexico. He then came to California to build missions to help convert people to Christianity. He was was canonized as a saint in 2015. Junipero Serra lived his life by following God’s call. He is an outstanding role model for others, and inspires me to listen to God’s call to and act when called upon. To act like Junipero Serra, I would accept a vocation from God when he calls on me, do what I can to help the Church do, and use my special talents to serve God and His people.
Just like Junipero Serra, if God called me to take part in a religious vocation, I’d trust that he knows what’s best for me. I would have to be open and unafraid of the task he has in mind for me. The task that He has in mind for me might not be as big as Junipero Serra’s task, but it might be just as impactful to others. A religious vocation can mean many things, such as spreading God’s work through actions. My vocation could be marrying someone and having a high paying job. Even though I’m married and have a job, I take part in a religious life too. For example, I could be called to help a shelter and care for homeless animals in my free time. It may not be something I could do for a living, but it could be a small way that I can contribute. If more

The Church encourages all of us to serve those in need. We can serve others by leading Bible studies to new members, collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless, and spreading God’s good news to people that are unaware of

Two officers were involved Mark Ringgenberg and Dustin Schwarze, protestants of black life matters and other institutions that support civil rights are unsatisfied because no charges were pressed against the two officer.

Nor, she has never heard the concept of vocation during at that time her twenty-two years on Earth. As she considers herself, a free spirit and a humanist regarding religion, Ms. Sams continues to note that she does not follow a particular religion. However, she keeps an open mind to how an individual’s religion has transformed his or her life. As a free spirit, by primarily having an open mind to the religious faith of Christianity, Ms. Sams assures that the spirit of God lives within each individual; regardless if he or she believes or does not believe in the spirit of God.

I think Bryan Stevenson has a unique understanding of the CJ system because of his work. Because of the statistics he has researched and his difficult cases, I think Stevenson is very aware of the short comings of the CJ system. He has also seen that the system is capable of righting a wrong. In his book, Just Mercy, he wrote about a case in which a 14 year old kid was unjustly being tried as an adult. He was able to get the case moved back to the juvenile court, and the kid was released before he turned 18 and able to create a new life. Stevenson’s work has enabled him to see what needs to be fixed in the CJ system, and as a result, he has become a champion of his cause.

She also has a mind of her own and doesn’t let anyone control her mind or her decisions. I do not like giving up on myself let alone other people it is the worst feeling ever and she does not give up on anyone not even herself.
In the silence, I found myself contemplating the concept of vocation. Since my day of silence began roughly around the same time that Examined Life would have been starting, the topic was already on my mind. Specifically, my vocation, which is becoming more nebulous the longer I stay away from my home and delve into who I am to be as a single unit, opposed to how I fit into my families paradigm. Prior to coming to college it was my belief that I was going to become a professor, that I was called to teach, and that may very well be. However, as I progress in my work through Mission Waco, and explore the calling to ministry in my life, I wonder if I am brave enough to listen to that still small voice. Then, I wonder, why not both?
