St. Bridget

FOCAL POINT:

“For the perfect fulfillment of our vows and in order to truly die together with Christ, the spirit of mortification is necessary. … Therefore, we will carry out everything properly and faithfully, courageously face all adversities and lovingly and eagerly conquer all difficulties and anything that can turn us away from God.” (Con. 80)

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“The participation of the laity often brings unexpected and rich insights into certain aspects of the charism, leading to a more spiritual interpretation of it and helping to draw from it directions for new activities in the apostolate.” (Vita Consecrata, 55)
