“Keep Watch” Year of Consecrated Life … by Pope Frances.  In this writing, Pope Francis reiterates what Saint John Paul II proposed to the whole Church in the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Vita Consecrata:  “You have not only a glorious history to remember and to recount, but also a great history still to be accomplished!  Look to the future, where the Spirit is sending you in order to do even greater things” (No. 110)
