World Day for Consecrated Life

Today is being observed as World Day for Consecrated Life, a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (celebrated on 2 February).

On this day, we are encouraged to pray for all those who have made commitments in the consecrated life and to thank them on this, their special day. May they continue to be inspired by Jesus Christ and respond generously to God’s gift of their vocation.
