    VOCARE Liturgies & Spiritual Practices

    “VOCARE” is a regular spiritual practice designed to help you discern and embrace your multiple vocations so that you can more intentionally live life on purpose for the common good. “VOCARE” invites ongoing reflection upon values, openness, call, attentiveness, regret, and the experience the sacred in everyday life.

    Seasonal Resources

    A manger scene. A simple wooden structure with a thatched roof is in the middle. A small lamp hangs on the left side of the front crossbar. The roof is thatched with reeds. From left to right there are statues of a donkey, Mary, the baby Jesus in a manger, Joseph, and a cow. There are baskets of onions, dates, peppers and other foods on the ground. The ground is covered with straw. The scene is placed in front of a backdrop of home-made mountains and a black wall with stars on it.

    Worship Resources and Devotionals

    A circular stained glass window. The top of the image has an angle with arms spread out and reaching out to a female form in a purple dress and red cloak who also has their arms stretched out.

    Bible Study Resources

    Centered around the theme of Vocation, our Near and Now bible study resources guide you through reflections on various Bible passages.

    Some passages also come with Engaging the Living Word, which is a preaching and teaching resource, and Readers’ Theatre.

    Here you will also find thematic VOCARE meditations.
