God himself gave the name of the son of Mary, as it is said: "You shall call his name, Jesus". The name contains a mission, it is important, like "Jesus" which means "Savior". The father determines the names of his children. Since the time of Jesus, men and women have complemented each other in the mission of salvation. Catechesis on vocational discernment, with Fr. Rakotondramanna Soloniaina Jean Emilien.

The content of the mission for the Virgin Mary is to be: “The mother of the Messiah”, son of Almighty God. We must have a life plan, but God has his organization. People must have good intentions, but with God. Catechesis on vocational discernment, with Fr. Rakotondramanana Soloniaina Jean Emilien.

The mission that God gives us is urgent, but as messengers there is no reward, for example, our responsibility in the church. On the one hand, "Vocation and profession" can go hand in hand, but on the other hand, these two turn "incompatible". Profession and vocation cannot be underestimated, for we must need them in order to survive. Catechesis on vocational discernment, with Fr. Rakotondramanana Soloniaina Jean Emilien.

A vocation and a profession are not the same thing. God assures a person, first of all, not to be afraid of a vocation. The virgin Mary has been given the task of having a son. The "vocation" is that God chooses, calls us and sends us, but the "profession" is us who choose what to do. Catechesis on vocational discernment, with Fr. Rakotondramanana Soloniaina Jean Emilien.
