O'CONNOR The usual time for emphasizing vocations is in, March but the announcement of t'.ie coining of the Sena International to Ro:'ies'.er stimulates ttvn'nng about vocations and here are a few things recalled on the subject. B;,' chance I ran across an interview on Religious Vocations Father Richard Torinov had on WHAM with Bishop Kearney in March, 1952. The Bishop was asked what does a vocation mean. '•In a general way.\ the Dishop is quoted, \you best go. the meaning of this word 'vocation' simply by translating your Latin. The 'Vocatio' is a calling. We have other callings. We meet one man and we say his vocation was to be a doctor. We have the teaching profession and we say after having listened to thcTi cr attended their classes 'their vocation was to be teach- ers'. ^\Ve p-e cr.viing to rcM.-o that motherhood is a very dcf'mU vocation, however, in t-ie reive th:>t we are using it, we have come to restrict it to the 'call of God'.\ THE SE'tRA C:.L3, I'm tcld, will aim to develop the \call of God\ to the pries'hood while streTithemnfi the faith ;:nd mutual friendship of the members — Catholic laymen.
