Roman Catholic AnswerThe most important vocation for you is the one that God has chosen for you. That may or may not be Holy Orders.
Vocations aren't sacraments, they're callings. Vocations take many forms, but you and I most commonly refer to them as "jobs" or "careers". A baker, the candlestick maker, the computer programmer and the artist are all vocations. The purpose of a vocation is to serve God. Whatever your vocation is, know that it is something God chose for you and through doing your vocation you are serving humanity and God by doing it well. The original answer to this question refers primarily to the sacrament of Holy Orders which is for clergy (Priests and Deacons). Nuns do not receive Holy Orders. Being a member of the clergy is *also* a vocation!
Holy Orders is what makes a person a deacon! The Diaconite is one type of ordained priesthood, the lowest kind.AnswerI wouldn't say "lowest form" more like the most constrained or limited. It is in itself a vocation and level of priesthood, especially in the case of permanent deacons.
If you are talking about the sacraments in their categories, you are speaking of the Sacraments of Vocation. Matrimony is the first of the vocational sacraments. The other is the Holy Orders. The Holy Orders are when a priest is ordained. In most situations, a person takes one sacrament or the other upon themselves. In few situations are they permitted both, but the Catholic church examines marriage of clergy members in special situations on a case by case basis.

A Bible is the most important Christian holy book.
