A quote from Pope Francis:

“We are afraid of the definitive. And to choose a vocation, any vocation, including vocations that involve a ‘state’ such as marriage, consecrated life, the priesthood, one must choose with a view to the definitive. This is contrary to the culture of the provisional. It is a part of the culture in which we must live in this time, but we must live through this and conquer it.”

-- Meeting in the Lourdes Grotto with young people embarking on vocational journey, June 30, 3014
