A calling: the particular ways a person is invited to serve God and other people, in work, family, church and community. Traditions describe it differently.
The word comes from the Latin for a call. Some traditions stress that ordinary work and daily duties are themselves a calling. Others also speak of special callings, such as to marriage, to the single life, or to ordained or monastic life.
Either way, the idea is that a life has purpose that does not depend on how much a person produces.
