A Sister Reflects - Reflexión de una Hermana



Living the Vows | Viviendo los Votos

This week, we celebrate the World Day of Consecrated Life. This day falls on February 2, although many celebrations take place the following Sunday. Consecrated life takes many forms, but include religious sisters and brothers, consecrated virgins and widows, societies of apostolic life and secular institutes. Those who enter into consecrated life profess vows as a way of entering into their baptismal call in a new way.

This day provides us with the opportunity to reflect on why God calls some people to consecrated life, and what this way of life means for the life of the Church. My own experience of living religious life is that the vows I have made are the way that I am called into deeper relationship with God and neighbor, and, in turn, my deeper understanding calls me serve God and my neighbor. These articles talk about ways that some people have understood their lives through the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience:

Blessings,

Viviendo los Votos

Esta semana celebramos la Jornada Mundial de la Vida Consagrada. Este día cae el 2 de Febrero, aunque muchas celebraciones tienen lugar el Domingo siguiente. La vida consagrada toma muchas formas, pero incluye hermanas y hermanos religiosos, vírgenes y viudas consagradas, sociedades de vida apostólica e institutos seculares. Los que entran a la vida consagrada profesan los votos como una forma de entrada a su llamado bautismal de una manera nueva.

Este día nos brinda la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre el por qué Dios llama a algunas personas a la vida consagrada y qué significa esta forma de vida para la vida de la Iglesia. Mi propia experiencia de vivir la vida religiosa es que los votos que he hecho son la forma en que soy llamada a una relación más profunda con Dios y el prójimo y, a la vez, mi comprensión más profunda me llama a servir a Dios y al prójimo. Estos artículos hablan de formas en que algunas personas han entendido su vida a través de los votos de pobreza, castidad y obediencia:

Bendiciones,
Hermana Katherine
