Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz and this is Ascension Presents.
Hola, mi nombre es P. Mike Schmitz y esto es "Ascension Presents"
So I work on a college campus and that means I work with a lot of young adults,
Trabajo en un campus universitario y eso significa que trabajo con muchos jóvenes adultos
people who are in a time of transition, they're in a time of discernment of like,
Personas que están en un tiempo de transición, en un tiempo de discernimiento, de preguntarse
What does God want me to do with my life? What does he want to do with my life?
"¿Qué Dios quiere que yo haga con mi vida? ¿Qué El quiere hacer con mi vida?"
They're asking about like, what's my vocation?
Están preguntándose "¿cuál es mi vocación?" ¿Cuál es mi vocación?
If you've been Catholic for any amount of time,
Si has sido católico por cualquier cantidad de tiempo
you know we have this word called vocation and typically when people think of vocation,
Ya sabes que tenemos está palabra llamada "vocación"
they think of "Should I be a priest or a nun?" or like, "No, I'm called to the vocation of marriage."
Y típicamente cuando la gente piensa en vocación, piensan en "¿debo ser un sacerdote o una monja?"
Wonderful, awesome.
Ó "no, estoy llamado a la vocación del matrimonio"
But that's a small idea of what vocation is.
Maravilloso, genial pero, eso es una idea pequeña de lo que es la vocación
In fact, I say there are at least three senses of vocation.
De hecho, yo diría que hay al menos tres "sentidos" de vocación
First is this. The first vocation is the primary vocation. It never, ever changes.
La primera es esta: tu vocación primaria, que nunca, nunca cambia
It's the universal call to holiness. Vocation means "call," right?
es el llamado universal a la santidad
So the Second Vatican Council said that every person on the planet- Catholic or not,
vocación significa llamado, no? entonces, el Concilio Vaticano II se dijo que todas las personas en el planeta
Christian or not, no matter what, atheist or theist,
católicos o no, cristianos o no, no importa qué, ateo o creyente
every person is called to holiness. It's a universal call to holiness which means this:
toda persona está llamada a la santidad es el llamado universal a la santidad, que significa esto
Every person on this planet has a call, has the call
toda persona en este planeta tiene el llamado a ser santo
to be a saint. Basically, you realize when you're born, you have a destiny.
Básicamente te das cuenta que cuando naces, ya tienes un destino
Now, that doesn't mean fate, like you're fated into it.
Pero esto no significa que tienes un destino predeterminado, sino una destinación
It means you have a destination and God's destiny or his destination for you is a life with him forever in heaven, so to be a saint.
Y el destino o destinación de Dios para ti es una vida con Él para siempre en el cielo
So, the first vocation, the first call is the universal call to holiness.
ser santo Entonces, la primera vocación o llamado es el llamado universal a la santidad
You're all called to be a saint. Here's that first one right here. Boom!
todos estamos llamados a ser santos
The second sense of call is what we typically think of.
por aqui está esa vocación El segundo sentido de vocación es en el que usualmente pensamos
It's marriage and family, consecrated single life, religious life, or the priesthood,
es el matrimonio y la familia, vida soltera consagrada, vida religiosa o el sacerdocio
so those four kind of senses of vocations, that's what we typically think of like,
entonces esos 4 sentidos de vocación, esos son en los que siempre pensamos
Should I be a priest? Should I be married?
como "¿debería yo ser sacerdote?"
Should I be a nun? Should I be a consecrated single?
"¿debería casarme?" "¿debería ser monja?"
Yep, that's that second sense of vocation.
"¿debería ser una persona consagrada?" Sí, ese es el segundo sentido de vocación
The third sense of vocation is what are the immediate tasks? Or what is the immediate mission that God is calling me to do right now?
El tercer sentido de vocación es ¿cuáles son las tareas inmediatas o cuál es la misión inmediata a la que Dios me está llamando ahora mismo?
And that will always change. That always changes
Y esto siempre va a cambiar, siempre
regardless of whatever vocation you're in.
Sin importar qué otra vocación tengas
For example, if you're married and you don't have any kids, well, then your mission looks like this,
Por ejemplo, si estás casado y no tienes hijos, entonces tu misión luce "así"
but then you start having children, it kind of changes over here.
Pero si empiezas a tener hijos, tu misión cambia por aquí
So this one, this third sense of vocation, God's call in your daily life, always is changing, it's fluctuating all the time.
Entonces, este tercer sentido de vocación, el llamado de Dios en tu vida diaria, siempre está cambiando
This middle one, though, is really interesting
fluctua todo el tiempo Pero el segundo sentido es muy interesante
because that's the one we get kind of preoccupied with,
porque con este es que nos preocupamos, y tiene sentido
which makes sense, but a lot of times what people do is this.
pero muchas veces lo que la gente hace es esto:
They say, "I'm trying to discern God's call for my life, my vocation, that secondary sense of vocation-
dicen "estoy tratando de discernir el llamado de Dios para mi vida", mi vocación, ese segundo sentido
priesthood, religious life, consecrated single life, or marriage and the family."
sacerdocio, vida religiosa, soltero consagrado o matrimonio y familia
And we say, "Well, do I like this or that?"
y dicen "bueno, ¿me gusta esto o aquello?"
"Do I like these tasks or those tasks?" and we think that's a good way to discern.
"¿me gustan estas tareas o aquellas?" y pensamos que esa es una buena manera de discernir
It's not a bad way to start. You have to understand this.
y no es una mala manera de COMENZAR pero tienes que entender esto
These tasks over here, those are the kind of the actions of the day.
estas tareas de aquí esas son las acciones del día a día
This second sense of vocation, the thing that marks it, is this:
el segundo sentido de vocación, lo que la marca es esto:
the primary relationship by which you'll become that saint you're meant to be.
la relación primaria por la que te convertirás en el santo que estás destinado a ser
Here's what I mean.
a lo que me refiero es esto
If you're called to marriage, here's Jack.
si estás llamado al matrimonio Entonces aqui está Jack,
Jack's primary relationship in which he'll become the man God's called him to be
La relación primaria por la que Jack se convertirá en el hombre que Dios lo ha llamado a ser
is by dying to himself out of the love for Jill and whatever kids they have.
es muriendo a sí mismo por amor a Jill y a los hijos que tengan
Here's Jill. If she's called to marriage,
y aquí está Jill, si ella está llamada al matrimonio
that's the primary relationship by which she'll become the woman she's called to be
esa es la relación primaria por la que ella se convertirá en la mujer que está llamada a ser
by loving Jack and whatever kids God blesses them with.
amando a Jack y a los hijos con que Dios los bendiga
As a religious sister, the primary relationship by which she'll become the woman God has called her to be is as a bride to Christ and also in relation to her sisters.
Como una hermana religiosa, la relación primaria por la que ella se convertirá en la mujer que Dios la llama a ser es como una novia para Cristo y también en una relación con sus hermanas
As a consecrated single, the primary relationship by which that person will become the person, man or woman, they're called to be, that saint, is through serving the people in their lives.
Como soltero consagrado, la relación primaria por la que esa persona, hombre o mujer, se convertirá en santo es a través del servicio a las personas en su vida
That's just by pouring themselves out in their parish, in the people around them.
derramándose en servicio en su parroquia y por las personas a su alrededor
As a priest and it's amazing and it just humbles me, the primary relationship which I'll become the man God has called me to become
Como sacerdote, es increíble y me hace humilde, la relación primaria por la que me convertiré en el hombre
is by being as Christ the bridegroom to his bride the Church.
que Dios me ha llamado a ser, es siendo como Cristo, el novio de su novia la Iglesia
That's the primary relationship by which I'll become the man God wants me to be.
esa es la relación primaria por la que yo me convertiré en el hombre que Dios quiere que yo sea
Now, you see this, that the first call never changes.
Ahora, ya ves esto, el primer llamado, nunca cambia
We're always called to be a saint no matter where you go.
Todos estamos llamados a ser santos no importa a dónde vayas
The second call is more stable, but it's not completely stable
El segundo llamado es más estable, pero no es completamente estable
That third call is always fluctuating.
Ese tercer llamado, siempre está cambiando
Yeah, it's one of the crazy things, an amazing thing.
Es una de esas cosas locas, increíbles
That's why it's really important to discern the relationship.
Por eso es tan importante discernir la relación
Here's an example. I knew a couple who were really athletic. They loved doing sports together, loved racing,
Y aquí un ejemplo Yo conocí una pareja. Ellos eran muy atléticos, les encantaba hacer deportes juntos
they were marathoners and triathlon athletes.
Les encantaban las carreras y eran atletas de maratones y triatlones
And so they got married and thinking like, "This is amazing."
Y entonces, se casaron pensado "esto es algo grandioso" y se amaban mucho
They loved each other a lot and they thought, "We love doing all these things together."
y pensaban "nos encanta hacer todas estas cosas juntos"
Well, two weeks after they got married, they were in a car accident.
Y bueno, como dos semanas después que se casaron, tuvieron un accidente automovilístico
She was paralyzed from the neck down.
y ella quedó paralizada del cuello hacia debajo
All these things changed.
Todas estas cosas cambiaron
All the activities they wanted to do, all the things that kind of brought them together, those hobbies and stuff, that all changed.
Todas las actividades que querían hacer, todas esas cosas que los acercaron, los hobbies...
They couldn't do those anymore together
Todo eso cambió, ya no podían hacerlo juntos
but this piece, they had discerned that, "No, it's you, it's the person. It's the other person, that's what I'm discerning."
Pero esta parte ellos la habían discernido "No, eres tu, es la persona, es la otra persona, eso es lo que estoy discerniendo"
This is the primary relationship by which I'll become the man or woman I'm called to be.
"Esta es la relación primaria, por la que me convertiré en el hombre/mujer que estoy llamado a ser"
So for the last thirty years or so, he has been laying down his life, serving his bride.
Así que, por los últimos 30 años, el ha estado dando su vida sirviendo a su esposa
The tasks look really different
Las tareas se ven muy diferente
and for the last 30 years or so, she has received his love and given him love back in return as best as she can.
Y por los últimos 30 años, ella ha recibido su amor, y le ha devuelto amor en respuesta, como mejor ha podido
You know, because sometimes it's harder to be served than it is to be the one serving.
Porque a veces es más dificil ser servido que ser el que sirve
But she's done such an incredible job.
Pero ella ha hecho tan buen trabajo
And when they do that, this primary relationship, as they died to themselves
Y cuando ellos hacen esto, en esta relación primaria, al morir a ellos mismos por amor al otro
out of love for the other, they're becoming more and more the man and woman
Ellos se convierten más y más en la mujer y el hombre que están llamados a ser
they're called to be. The reality is God has made you for a purpose.
La realidad es que Dios te hizo para un propósito
He's called you to be a saint.
Te ha llamado a ser santo
What's the primary relationship by which God will make you into that saint?
¿Cuál es la relación primaria por la que Dios te convertirá en ese santo?
And then what's the task at hand?
Y ¿cuál es la tarea a mano?
Right now, what is the task that you need to be doing? Even if you don't know what your vocation is, this middle vocation,
Ahora mismo, ¿cuál es la tarea que necesitas estar haciendo -aún si no sabes cuál es tu vocación en el segundo sentido-
What's the task you need to be doing today?
¿cuál es la tarea que necesitas estar haciendo HOY?
Maybe it means getting off the computer. (laughs) I don't know
Tal vez puede ser, alejarte de la computadora, no sé!
but maybe it means just loving the people around you.
Tal vez solo significa amar a las personas a tu alrededor.

God bless.
Dios los bendiga!
That was a long one! That was a long one
Ese fue uno largo (ese fue largo)
but it was super good though, I know.
Pero fue uno super bueno, ¿no?, yo sé
Whatever.
¿fue bueno? ¿estuvo bien?
Was it good? Was it okay? I need some affirmation you guys. Seriously.
Necesito algo de afirmación, chicos, en serio
