...Brother, when you arrive in the community with the desire to follow the Gospel...

Brother, sister, when you arrive in the community with the desire to follow the Gospel, you do not yet know many things about this life that has attracted you and that you have chosen. You need a period of reflection, during which you can deepen your understanding of the vocation you have received. At the time of your accoglienza liturgica, an authentic love not satisfied with partial or temporary gifts inspires your commitment to stability in the community, according to the vocation you have received, welcomed and then chosen. At this time, your actions and attitudes begin to take on visibility in the community.

After your vocation has been confirmed within the community, the moment arrives for you, brother, sister, to give your life definitively to God, and to do this in front of the church. The liturgy of the profession begins with the invocation of the Holy Spirit, who will inspire in you a firm and unshakable commitment. You will then pronounce your final, irrevocable and free “yes” to the call to live in celibacy and community life according to the spirit of the Rule. In front of the church, which will confirm you in the gift you have received, you will pronounce this “yes” in the Holy Spirit to the Father, through Christ who is the eternal Amen, the true and faithful witness.
