A life of consecration prefigures what Christians hope for by
calling into question the value of power, sexuality, and material
possessions. Religious life challenges the idea that these things
alone bring happiness and shows that we can be more fulfilled,
happier, and more whole without being attached to them.
Furthermore, detaching ourselves from these desires allows others
to live with more dignity and greater ease, as well. Consecrated
life, then, is a prophetic witness to the joy of the eschatological
call of Christianity. In the words of Pope Francis to religious men
and women leading up to the Year of Consecrated Religious, "Wake up
the world! Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of
acting, of living!"
