A religious vocation involves a commitment to serve a higher power or spiritual calling within a religious institution, often through vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. In contrast, a secular vocation typically refers to a career or occupation that does not have a religious or spiritual focus and may be pursued in a non-religious setting.
Holy Orders is considered a sacrament involving a vocation since one must be "called" to receive it and not everyone is. The calling or vocation involves the desire to pursue holy orders as well as the Church's invitation to receive them. Since Holy Orders dictates an entire way of life, that is, that once received you are expected to live the life of a religious in the service of God, the sacrament is life-altering event, a vocation.
