Spanish term

vocación de

Spanish to English Art/Literary Journalism género: ensayo
con una vocación de misericordia y justicia

En el sombrío documental carcelario que vi hace algunas semanas surge de pronto el alivio de la bondad humana. Personas generosas, veterinarios con una vocación de misericordia y justicia que va más allá de los límites de la propia especie, fundan organizaciones particulares destinadas a recoger a los chimpancés y a construir para ellos refugios en los que puedan llevar una vida lo más parecida posible a aquella de la que fueron arrancados en la primera infancia.

(Antonio Muñez Molina, 1956- "Nuestros semejantes")

Perdón corrijo la palabra Mercyful es solo con una "L" al final.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Carolingua : Please note the spelling--it's "merciful". for the phrasing, I'd say "vocation for mercy and justice" or "calling for mercy and justice". You would never hear "merciful and justice vocation" or "merciful and justice call" in English.
