For women discerning a call to become a Catholic Sister... (...though men have also found these pages helpful!)
From Ruth Burrows, OCD, "Consecrated Life," Essence of Prayer (Mahwah, NJ: Paulist, 2006): It is the privilege of all of us in religious life to have been called out
of the Christian community to serve that community in a special way, not
primarily by the ministry we fulfil but by our public profession of
belonging absolutely to God; by our lived affirmation that the love of God,
the fulfilling of God's will, are our supreme and only concern, and that God
is worth the offering of our whole life. That, surely, is what we mean
by consecrated life: the daily intention and effort to live for God alone
and not at all for ourselves. |
