"The consecrated life, deeply rooted in the example and teaching of Christ the Lord, is a gift of God the Father to his Church through the Holy Spirit. By the profession of the evangelical counsels the characteristic features of Jesus--the chast, poor, and obedient one--are made constantly 'visible' in the midst of the world and the eyes of the faithful are directed toward the mystery of the Kingdom of God already at work in history."
-Pope John Paul II in Vita Consecrata , no. 1
Didn't know where else to put this, so I just posted it here!
