Consecrated Life Sunday

On Sunday February 2nd, the universal Church gathers in prayer and gratitude in celebration of the gift of Consecrated Life to the World.

More than ever, our world that is in turmoil, needs the witness and hope that you and your Sisters/Brothers have brought, bring and will continue to bring.

Pope Francis speaking to the Consecrated Religious of the World challenges each of us to:

Wake up the World with Uplifting Words of Hope

Remember the beauty of your first call.

Jesus continues to call you today with same full love and untamed grace.

Go forth!  There is always more to do, to encounter, to appreciate, to be astonished by.

Begin and end with the joy of prayer-the marrow of consecrated life.

Go forth! Each of us has a role to play in the Church.

Witness and sow well each day and look to tomorrow with hope.

Go forth! Grow in love or God so that others will be attracted by the divine light in you.

Welcome the new vocations the Lord sends to continue the work of consecration.

Wake up the World with Uplifting Words of Hope

Let us pray for all those living Consecrated Life. May many others embrace the life.
