In the multiplicity of the notions of the vocation, the theandric model is a tool that contributes to the development of the vocational culture of the community and to the consolidation of an individual’s culture of their personal vocation and it liberates from simplifications and generalizations about the vocation. The model addresses both the divine and the human dimensions of the calling. God and man are active in the dialogue and perform a series of predicted and related acts. The model has four subjects and four types of activity. The first subject is God, the second is the community, the third is the called person and the fourth is time. The first activity is the acceptance of vocation, the second is discernment, the third is realization, and the fourth is faithfulness. Every called person and every community that welcomes new members can translate this model into the concrete theorical and practical expressions of their mission, charism, way of life, and can question the way the community members live their vocational culture.
