Abstract

This article studies some fundamental ideas of Origen and the Desert Fathers and Mothers regarding vocation. These authors reflect the conviction of early Christians regarding the general calling to holiness; but they also reveal how, at a second moment, a certain consideration needs to be done, as to whether to pursue the quest for holiness in the world or out of it.
