The sisters of the General House participate in the celebration of the World Day of Consecrated Life , which takes place in the Vatican , together with religious men and women of various charisms from all over the world.
During the Eucharist, Pope Leo XIV focused his homily on the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, recalling that Christ is the light that reveals the face of God and does not abandon humanity in its darkness . In this context, he emphasized that consecrated life is called to make that light visible , being a sign of hope wherever there is suffering, loneliness, or fragility.
The Holy Father also encourages consecrated persons to remain faithful in the midst of difficulties , following the example of Simeon and Anna, who knew how to wait and serve with trust . This perseverance, he points out , translates into a close, humble, and constant presence, capable of offering comfort, service, and accompaniment in the daily lives of individuals and communities.
The celebration is experienced as a moment of thanksgiving and vocational renewal. The sisters participate with gratitude and joy, reaffirming their commitment to living their consecrated life as a presence of light, hope, and consolation in service to the Church and the world.
