THE WITNESS OF A CONSECRATED LIFE

Word on Fire



In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II instituted a day for women and men in consecrated life. This global celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2nd. This Feast is also known as Candlemas Day; the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples. 

In this article by Bishop Robert Barron, he reflects on the gift of consecrated life in the Church and how it is meant to be a sign of the ultimate and final fulfillment of everyone's life which is to be united totally and intimately to God.
