World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life

Wednesday, February 2, 2022

Today is the annual celebration of World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life! Instituted by Saint John Paul II in 1997, World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life is celebrated in conjunction with the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as Candlemas Day, which commemorates through the blessing and lighting of candles that Christ is the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples.
