World Day for Consecrated Life

Today is World Day for Consecrated Life, instituted over 20 years ago by Pope Saint John Paul II as a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life.

The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as Candlemas Day, is attached to this celebration. Much like the symbolic candles which are blessed on this day, those in consecrated life reflect the light of Christ within the world.

Please join us in prayer today for all those in the consecrated life and for those discerning a call to the consecrated life.
