How can parents talk about Church vocations when what they know about from personal experience is married life?
Answer
Parents can talk to their children about the importance of discovering God’s purpose in their lives. It can be helpful to them to hear how you discovered that you were called to marriage. As Catholics, each of us has a responsibility to learn about each vocation so that we can support others. Parents need to learn about and understand Church vocations as well as marriage. Some resources for doing this are personal contacts with priests and sisters, reading the lives of the Saints, literature about Church vocations, and websites such as this one.
