Pilgrimage of Hope, a journey through the Days of Consecrated Life

We took part in a World Day of Consecrated Life in Saint Peter’s for the first time in February 2024, when we first arrived at the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery. The Day was presided by the Holy Father and shared with a large number of women and men religious. It was an experience of true ecclesial communion, which we lived with profound gratitude in our first year in the heart of the Church. The Pope’s words, that echoed in our hearts with renewed strength, made us better understand what the Church and the world expect from consecrated people, both from those who serve the Church in the ministry of prayer and daily dedication to a hidden and silent life, and those who have the very important mission of bringing the Gospel to all the peoples.
