7 I,11 | marked difference between the vocational flowering of Eastern Europe
8 I,11 | there are also signs of a vocational upturn, particularly in
9 I,11 | applicational coherence of certain vocational projects, the concept of
10 I,11 | indecision in the face of vocational choices. In addition, many

17 I,13 | is the field in which the vocational search is placed".(19)~It

26 II,17 | becomes an icon of every vocational response; as in Jesus, in
27 II,18 | according to the Word.~b) Vocational promoter and accompanier~
28 II,18 | confirming and renewing the vocational fidelity to one's identity
29 II,19 | each person, in his own vocational experience, finds an event
30 II,19 | itself has a profoundly vocational structure: it is called
31 II,19 | also for the creation of a vocational culture and a readiness
32 II,19 | So, we note that: the vocational fidelity of a believing
33 II,19 | interpreter of the explicit vocational appeal and herself calls,
34 II,19 | welcome immediately the vocational appeal; or that does not
35 II,19 | the welcoming of it.~The vocational crisis of those called is
36 II,22 | ministry is based upon the vocational nature of the Church and
37 II,22 | proclaiming the Good News.~This vocational organisation is expressed

39 II,23 | can contemplate a perfect vocational plan, that should be implemented
40 III | principles, in which the vocational perspective is the soul

51 III,26 | nature, is orientated towards vocational discernment. This is a service
52 III,26 | work shall be permeated by vocational attention, to awaken it

55 III,26 | their very lives to numerous vocational possibilities, later converging
56 III,26 | particular way.~The authentic vocational educator not only points
57 III,26 | Christian.~This produces a vocational strategy that is better
58 III,26 | opposite.~A gradual approach to vocational proclamation, in fact, allows
59 III,26 | more, today, to be wholly vocational. Within the Church "every
60 III,26 | must be aware of becoming a vocational 'lamp', capable of provoking
61 III,26 | individual who must interpret the vocational proposal, and the believer,
62 III,26 | Therefore the ministry of vocational calling belongs not only
63 III,26 | There is a moment within the vocational dynamic when the proposal

73 III,27 | the liturgy there comes a vocational appeal for those who participate.(77)
74 III,27 | Every celebration is a vocational event. In the mystery celebrated,
75 III,27 | too, becomes a way for vocational discernment, not only because
76 III,27 | new awareness and a new vocational culture favourable to the
77 III,27 | behavioural virtue, but also a vocational pathway. Only by living
78 III,27 | fundamental component of a vocational project, or only by tasting
79 III,27 | contrary, there can be no vocational attraction for someone who
80 III,27 | these centres receive a vocational connotation in listening

84 III,27 | Confirmation an extraordinary vocational itinerary for preadolescents
85 III,28 | important then that the vocational educator encourage the sense
86 III,28 | strength of attraction and vocational gravity. Naturally the objective
87 III,29 | explore is an authentically vocational design, that invites every
88 III,29 | everyday life, that the vocational appeals of the Spirit come.~

98 IV,30 | Vocational crisis and educational crisis~
99 IV,31 | dialogue in the Gospel has a vocational significance: when Jesus
100 IV,32 | the point of reference of vocational pedagogy is the mystery
101 IV,32 | aspects and dimensions in his "vocational" activity.~Above all, Jesus
102 IV,33 | or sister on the path of vocational discernment enters into
103 IV,33 | we lament the shortage of vocational responses and we do not
104 IV,33 | reflecting this image that the vocational worker, in turn, proclaims,
105 IV,33 | understanding and respecting the vocational sense of the human life.~
106 IV,33 | Every season of life has a vocational significance, beginning
107 IV,33 | and accompany this first vocational manifestation".(98) Without,
108 IV,33 | known to us the job of a "vocational sower" is certainly not
109 IV,33 | is, properly speaking, no vocational culture; the prevalent anthropological
110 IV,33 | come together to weaken the vocational proposition and allow us,
111 IV,33 | into the mystery of the vocational dialogue.~
112 IV,34 | sister in the search.~a) Vocational itinerary~Having defined
113 IV,34 | Having defined the pastoral vocational itinerary, we can now ask:
114 IV,34 | we can now ask: what is a vocational itinerary on the pedagogical
115 IV,34 | pedagogical level?~The pedagogical vocational itinerary is a journey towards
116 IV,34 | God and respond to Him.~A vocational itinerary, then, is above
117 IV,34 | procession of experiences, even vocational, without any final decision.
118 IV,34 | Perhaps the first task of the vocational accompanier is that of indicating
119 IV,34 | Baptist.~The ministry of vocational accompaniment is a humble
120 IV,34 | can consider an unedited vocational conversation: Jesus' meeting
121 IV,34 | his life and future.~The vocational accompanier must be "intelligent",
122 IV,34 | stirring up and uncovering the vocational question that dwells in
123 IV,34 | to be discovered by real vocational formators".(99)~c) Sharing
124 IV,34 | communicating typical of vocational accompaniment is not didactic
125 IV,34 | confessio fidei.~One involved in vocational accompaniment gives witness
126 IV,34 | necessarily with words — his own vocational journey and the continual
127 IV,34 | his own identity in the vocational charism, and therefore recounts
128 IV,34 | beauty.~This gives rise to a vocational catechesis that is person
129 IV,34 | divine call.~And so the vocational sign could be better perceived.~
130 IV,35 | encourage the freedom of the vocational response.~a) Educating to
131 IV,35 | people who seem interested in vocational dialogue, allow themselves
132 IV,35 | of life, which makes the vocational choice difficult or practically
133 IV,35 | prayer becomes the place of vocational discernment, of education
134 IV,35 | prayer is the natural path of vocational searching, today as yesterday
135 IV,35 | yesterday and before, we need vocational educators who pray, who
136 IV,36 | both formator and form.~The vocational formator is such insofar
137 IV,36 | the two well knew.~In the vocational perspective this highlights
138 IV,36 | dimension must underlie every vocational programme: as the typical "
139 IV,36 | as the typical "place" of vocational encouragement, as the mystery
140 IV,36 | accepted, then we can make any vocational proposal. Then even the
141 IV,36 | offering of self, in the vocational option, as an inevitable
142 IV,36 | then born the different vocational configurations of the same
143 IV,36 | identity.~Forming for the vocational choice means showing more
144 IV,37 | to Emmaus might become a vocational itinerary a conclusive passage
145 IV,37 | accompanied him along the vocational path, the process of discernment.
146 IV,37 | finish during the time of vocational orientation, but must continue
147 IV,37 | often the consequence of vocational accompaniment that has not
148 IV,37 | passage, in relation to the vocational choice, is the witness of
149 IV,37 | context and has a precise vocational meaning.~In fact when the
150 IV,37 | their own believing and vocational journey.~It is as if that
151 IV,37 | supports and encourages the vocational choice of the individual.~
152 IV,37 | mind-sets, inhibits any vocational openness, then its opposite,
153 IV,37 | also indicates a healthy vocational option.~a) Authentic subjective
154 IV,37 | a) Authentic subjective vocational certainty makes space for
155 IV,37 | later life.~b) The typically vocational attitude is the expression
156 IV,37 | chosen.~c) Another good vocational indication are the capacities
157 IV,37 | healthy part of his own vocational project, and who does not

159 IV,37 | motivation or the modality of the vocational choice is that of totality (

163 IV,37 | docibilitas~The last phase of the vocational itinerary is that of decision.
164 IV,37 | this phase the criteria of vocational maturity would seem to be
