It has been said that marriage is not about saying "yes" at the altar, but about waking up every morning and deciding to be married all over again.  Today's reflection about Matthew 22 reminds me that this applies as equally to our vocation as mother, sister, teacher, friend.  Whichever calls I have answered in life must be answered not once, but daily. Sometimes, in some seasons, it is a promise we must intentionally renew hour by hour. 

"It is well to remember that the problem of corresponding to a vocation is not one that can be resolved once and for all on the day that embrace a particular state of life; it is a question that arises every day, because each day our vocation calls for a new response, a fresh adherence adapted to the circumstances and grace of the moment. A vocation attains its full realization only by our continual fidelity to God's invitations.  These invitations follow one another without interruption and reveal to the attentive soul ever new horizons, presenting new duties, new opportunities for generosity, and new aspects of perfection and immolation."
