********************************

Pope John Paul II
The World Day of Consecrated Life celebrated on the 2nd of February "is intended to help the entire Church to esteem ever more greatly the witness of those persons who have chosen to follow Christ by means of the practice of the evangelical counsels and, at the same time, is intended to be a suitable occasion for consecrated persons to renew their commitment and rekindle the fervor which should inspire their offering of themselves to the Lord." (John Paul II,6 January 1997)

Pope Benedict XVI

Pope Benedict XVI said on 02-02-2006: "...it is an appropriate occasion to praise the Lord and thank him for the precious gift represented by the consecrated life in its different forms; at the same time it is an incentive to encourage in all the People of God knowledge and esteem for those who are totally consecrated to God."


Celebrate Consecrated Vocations!
