Consecrated life is not merely a human project or personal preference; it is first and foremost a gift of the Holy Trinity to the Church and the world. The Father calls in love, the Son consecrates through His self-gift, and the Holy Spirit sustains and guides those who respond generously. Rooted in God’s loving initiative, consecrated life expresses a radical following of Christ through the profession of the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience.
