Renewed interest in the problem of God's vocation has recently been awakened by the autobiographical sketch of a woman who lived as a nun but ‘without a vocation’ for twenty-eight years before metaphorically ‘leaping over the wall’ to return to the world. Many individuals have experienced the problem for themselves in trying to find out what it is that God wants them to do. ‘What is my vocation?’ a young man or woman will ask, and he will spend many months investigating avenues which may be according to the divine plan which is so very difficult to discern. The difficulty is often based on a false interpretation of a true doctrine.
