The
Sisters' Vows
Part of the structure provided by the
Religious Life involves the taking of Vows. Human beings have an
innate desire to give themselves wholeheartedly to that which is of
the deepest value to them - usually this is another person or a
cause.
Consecrated Celibacy is
the expression of personal fulfilment in a relationship with God in
prayer which frees the heart to embrace the whole of God’s
creation.
The Vow of Poverty means a
renouncing of attachment to material things, holding all things in
common. It springs from the same need which the first Christians
felt, as we read in the Acts of the Apostles: “They had
everything in common and distribution was made to each as any had
need”.
The Vow of Obedience grows
from a longing to live fully for God and in his will. This also
means responding to God’s will as revealed in each other.
