Rejoice! A Message from the Teachings of Pope Francis

Pope Francis has exhorted all Christians to announce the Gospel with joy, and has asked Consecrated people to ensure that wherever they are present, joy is present also.  This letter from the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, based on the magisterium of Pope Francis, is an ideal preparatory text for the Year of Consecrated Life 2014-2015.  Themes include evangelisaiton and a faithful, joyful and fertile love for those most in need.  The text also contains questions for all Consecrated people to ponder for the forthcoming year promted by the teaching of Pope Francis.
