Psychology of a Vocation

Psychology of a Vocation provides men and women with vocations in the Church – especially within vocations that embrace celibacy – the necessary theory and practical advice to avoid the potential pitfalls of living the Christian vocation in the modern world.

Part of living the Christian life is to serve others and to be a human being who cares. Yet, to exercise mercy, one must have sufficient self-knowledge. Whether a part of the vocational life or the lay faithful, personal effort is necessary to grow in Christian virtue and to seek deeper meaning in life.

Fr. Wenceslao Vial combines his clinical knowledge, academic work, and pastoral activity as a priest, surgeon, and Doctor of Philosophy to cover a range of topics, including:

• Psychological Maturity and Moments of Crisis in Growth
• Healthy Habits and Hobbies; Growth in Freedom
• From Human Love to Divine Love
• Psychological and Behavioral Barriers
• Addressing and Preventing Burnout in Pastoral Ministry

Practical and concise, Psychology of a Vocation, is a helpful resource for anyone who wishes to deepen his or her understanding of how psychological dynamics can play a role in our relationships.
