Content: That being said, Vocation in this context is when God calls someone to be married, or to be a priest (or deacon). A qualified couple who get married in the Catholic Church receive the sacrament of matrimony. A qualified man who becomes a deacon/priest/bishop receives the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Under certain (very rare) conditions, by dispensation (approval) of the Bishop, a married Catholic man, can receive the sacrament of Holy Orders and become a deacon or priest. In other words he receives both sacraments. Bill Powers

Interesting phrase. I hadn’t heard it before, but like it. The word “vocation” means “calling.” Some are called to priesthood. For them, there’s the sacrament of Holy Orders, or priesthood.
