Sunday 3rd February we celebrate World Day for Consecrated Life. The celebration of World Day for Consecrated Life invites all the Church to reflect on the role of Consecrated Life within the Christian community. Some Christian women and men respond to God’s call to become followers of Jesus through profession of vows and a life dedicated to prayer and service. They live out the consecrated life in different ways; religious sisters, nuns, brothers, religious priests, and monks consecrate their lives through their profession of vows and live as part of a community. Other forms of consecrated life include secular institutes and single lay people who choose to take vows with the approval of the local Bishop.Those who become followers of Jesus through the Consecrated Life bless the Church. We ask God to bless our Church with others who will dedicate their lives to God’s service.For more information on the vocation to consecrated life in Ireland today, check out www.vocationsireland.com.
