The Strength of a Vocation: Consecrated Life Today

By Pope Francis and Fernando Prado, Fernando Prado, Pope Francis

The strength of a vocation to build the kingdom of God's love is evident in the witness of consecrated men and women who dedicate their lives to Christ in the service of God and their brothers and sisters.

This plainspoken conversation with Pope Francis took place in 2018 at the pope's residence. Filled with personal anecdotes from his own pastoral work, Pope Francis tells the story of the changes that have come to consecrated life in recent decades, challenges that need to be proactively addressed, and lessons from the past that can be applied to bring wisdom to governance and vitality to daily life in religious orders and seminaries.
