For religious sisters and consecrated women

The Pope's prayer intention (February 2022)

We pray for religious sisters and consecrated women; thanking them for their mission and their courage; may they continue to find new responses to the challenges of our times.

Women are the backbone of the Church!

In many ways, women form the backbone of the Church community. An important vocation is that to religious or consecrated life, a calling to prayer and service to others. The Church would not be what she is now without the countless women who have dedicated their lives to God and fellow people throughout the ages, and who continue to do so today. They need our prayers and our appreciation. Also today God is calling women to join them: maybe that is also your vocation! You may have many questions about this: the Tweeting with GOD app can help you find answers.
