Forgetting their personal needs and comforts, they take time to reach out to people who are spiritually in need. The world must become a place where people will be able to do Jesus’ work among their fellow men and women. Being sent is a commission that occurs because of God’s initiative, not ours. Today we are called and sent by God to be missionaries, proclaimers and witnesses to others of His Words. The Lord entrusts us with His gifts and talents. He wills to work in and through each of us for His glory. So, let us ask ourselves: In a world filled with so much hatred and division, anger and destruction, are we not in desperate need of true disciples of Jesus Christ and not just admirers? Are we ready to use the spiritual authority and power, which God wishes us to exercise on His behalf? Do we sacrifice our comforts and spend time to make this world a little more as Jesus wants it to be? As disciples of Christ, are we faithful to our mission?

During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen. Oración para el Año de la Vida Consagrada 2015: Oh Dios, a lo largo de los siglos se han llamado las mujeres y los hombres a llevar una vida de perfección de la caridad a través de los consejos evangélicos de pobreza, castidad y obediencia. Durante este Año de la Vida Consagrada, te damos gracias por estos valientes testigos de la fe y modelos de inspiración. Su búsqueda de una vida santa nos enseña a hacer una oferta más perfecta de nosotros mismos a usted. Continuar para enriquecer su Iglesia por convocarse a hijos e hijas que, después de haber encontrado la perla de gran precio, atesorar el reino de los cielos por encima de todas las cosas.
