Summary/Abstract: The article The particular role of a woman and her vocation in modern times is an attempt to present the vocation of a woman and her unique role in the background of the present-day world. Author relaying on a woman’s vocation that is described in the Bible moves on to specifying her vocation as a Divine gift, and further to the description of her role and duties which are supposed to taken up. After analyzing the Scriptures Author proposes the following thesis – the fundamental vocation of a woman is love and following from it – motherhood. From this primary Divine intention result specific duties which she ought to realize in the modern world. Among them the most important are: upbringing for peace, married love and safeguarding of life and its suitable transmission. Author observes that among numerous menaces should be noticed: pro-abortion thinking, contraception which is a remedy of all feministic movements which are trying to put on an equal footing to both of the sexes at all costs in their function and duties. A woman who fulfills herself in love can be deprived of her dignity which she was endowed with by the Creator. A contemporary woman-mother must rediscover her identity in love that flows out of her heart. This current of love can include all human beings striving for the motherly warmth and tenderness of her hands ,which in turn gives the sense of trust and security.
