The Church needs to make known
the great gospel values of which she is the bearer. No one witnesses more
effectively to these values than those who profess the consecrated life in
chastity, poverty and obedience, in a total gift of self to God and in complete
readiness to serve humanity and society after the example of Christ.
-Saint John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio
This
month, Pope Francis asks us to pray for all of our religious, that in
this Year of Consecrated Life, “religious men and women may
rediscover the joy of following Christ and strive to serve the poor with zeal.” Let us join him in praying for all consecrated religious.
