FOCAL POINT:

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“From the standpoint of the Christian life as a whole, the vocation to the consecrated life is, despite its renunciations and trials, and indeed because of them, a path of light over which the Redeemer keeps constant watch: Rise, and have no fear.” (Vita Consecrata, 40)
