Tools of a Religious Brother or Sister

A man or woman who becomes a consecrated religious, most usually has a profession / career.  He or she could be a teacher, a medic, a social worker, or any other of the myriad choices in our world today.  Depending upon one’s career, “tools” vary.  Depending upon one’s vocation, some of the “tools” of a religious are hidden:   

  1. the tool of the prayer of relationship with God;
  2. the tool of prayer for the people one serves;
  3. the tool of compassion poured out upon those who are suffering;
  4. the tool of consecration through chastity, poverty and obedience;
  5. the tool of community living
  6. the tool of fidelity to the Church
the tool of penance, sacrifice and responsible stewardship for those less fortunate.
