February 2, 2020 - World Day for Consecrated Life
There are many shapes, garbs and missions of persons committed to consecrated life, but each year on February 2 a day of prayer unfolds to celebrate this vowed way of life - a day to remember God’s continued outpouring of love. Pope Francis offers a message of inspiration, and women and men will gather in their respective chapels to give Eucharistic gratitude and to feast at the table of word and sacrament. We will sing hymns and songs about discipleship and we will remember the many varied ways we have had opportunity to work side-by-side with our sisters and brothers who profess other forms of commitment (married, single, activists, peacemakers). We are all one in the relationship of life, from the beginning of time. Together let us continue to build places of hope, compassion and mercy.
