“Your lives must testify to the personal encounter with Christ which has nourished your consecration, and to all the transforming power of that encounter . . . In a world of relativism and mediocrity, we need that radicalism to which your consecration, as a way of belonging to the God who is loved above all things, bears witness.” ~ Pope Benedict XVI speaking of the Consecrated Life at WYD2011, August 19, 2011
