What a Way thanks Dr. Gene Veith for his partnership granting permission to use the series of 5 articles he wrote on vocation and published in the LutheranWitness in 2001. Dr.Veith wrote:“Luther called vocation a “mask of God.” He said that God milks the cows by means of the milkmaid.We see a menial worker and may even be so presumptuous to look down upon her, but behind that humble façade looms God Himself, providing milk for His children. And we too are masks of God in all of our multiple callings. We have callings in the church (pastors, elders, choir members, parishioners); in the state (rulers, subjects, voters); in the workplace (employer, employee, factory worker, milkmaid, businessman); and in the family (husband and wife; father and mother; child; grandparent).”
