In a rare July audience, Pope Francis calls on religious from various orders to pray for vocations that will carry their charisms into the future.
Pope Francis went on to highlight two aspects of the spiritual life of consecrated men and women: beauty and simplicity.The histories of each order, the Pope said, “are stories of beauty, for in them, the grace and beauty of God’s face shines forth.” “It is up to you”, he said, “to continue, as they did, to seek out and spread the beauty of Christ in the concrete circumstances of today’s world.”Pope Francis went on to note that the founders of the various orders “chose what is essential … and renounced what is superfluous.” In this way, he said, “they allowed themselves to be shaped daily by the simplicity of God’s love shining forth in the Gospel.
He invited consecrated men and women to pray for “the gift of simplicity” as they prepare for their Chapters, calling on them to “strip themselves” of whatever might prove an obstacle to “listening attentively and preserving harmony” in their discernment.
