Reflection for the Day for Consecrated Life

 

The Prayer from Pope Francis for all in Consecrated Life calls us once again to “Go Forth” and “to look to tomorrow with hope.” To read the  Letter for Consecrated Life from Pope Francis, please click here.

Brothers and Sisters …
Go Forth! Remember the beauty of your first call.
Jesus continues to call you today
With the same full love and untamed grace.
 
Go Forth! There is always more time to do, to encounter,
To be grateful for, to be astonished by.
Begin and end with the joy of prayer –
The marrow of consecrated life.
 
Go Forth! Each of us has a role to play in the Church.
Witness and sow well each day,
And look to tomorrow with hope.
 
Go Forth! Grow in love for God
So that others will be attracted by the divine light in you.
Welcome the new vocations the lord sends
To continue the work of consecration.

~ Pope Francis
