Pope Francis on Monday received in audience the academic community of the Claretianum Institute of Theology of Religious Life in Rome celebrating the 50th anniversary of its foundation.
In his address, Pope Francis praised the work carried out over the past five decades by the Claretianum “in the spirit and mission” of St. Anthony Mary Claret, the founder of the Missionaries Sons of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, commonly known as Claretians.
“Your help to consecrated men and women, before being intellectual, is a testimony, a confession that Jesus is the Lord.”Pope Francis went on to warn against discouragement and the “spirit of defeat” in the face of the ongoing decline of vocations and aging of religious men and women. He invited them, instead, to confide in the Lord and the Holy Spirit.
“Do not tire of going to the frontiers, even to the frontiers of thought; to open roads, to accompany, to be bold in the mission rooted in the Lord.”
