Let’s Chat — What’s On Your Mind About Religious Life?

Back to regular time this week: 7:30 – 8:30 pm EST

Pope and Sisters in May 2013

Read the Holy Father's encouraging words and join the chat.

This Sunday we’ll hold an open forum on our “Living Jesus Chat Room” about religious life. Can you join us?

In May, Pope Francis met with leaders of orders of Catholic sisters and nuns from around the globe, telling them that the lives of consecrated persons are a “light in the world.”

“What would the church be without you?” the Pope asked at one point in the audience, telling the sisters the Church “would be missing maternity, affection, tenderness” without them.

Some quotes of the Pope that day might inspire us:

“It is an absurd dichotomy to think of living with Jesus but without the Church, of following Jesus outside of the Church, of loving Jesus without loving the Church.”

“Feel the responsibility that you have of caring for the formation of your institutes in sound Church doctrine, in love of the Church and in an ecclesial spirit,” the pope said.

Read the entire article, “Pope meets with heads of women’s religious communities,” and get enthused about our chat!
