| Summary: | The article presents the basic principles of the spirituality of consecrated life as they are
laid out in chapter VI of the Constitution on the Church. These principles can be summed
up as the following:
1.
Consecrated life means the imitation of Christ.
2.
This imitation is of a charismatic nature, thus can only be lived by vocation, with
the power of and originating from the Holy Spirit.
3.
The fruits of the works of the Holy Spirit, and consequently, the enforcement of
the imitation of Christ is love; a love that is always love towards God and your
neighbour. How diverse talents and vocations can be.
4.
Thanks to this love, enforced by the Holy Spirit, consecrated life presents itself
as a present from Christ to the Church. It is therefore, placed in the centre of
Church life and serves the Church not just by obedience and ministry, but even
deeper by a living witness that reflects the pilgrimage of a Christian, and the
hope for a life to come. |
