Private vows
- the state of life which is constituted by the profession
of the evangelical counsels - poverty, chastity, and
obedience.
- it is the profession of this counsels within a
permanent state of life recognised by the Church that
characterizes the life consecrated to God.
Catechism teaches us
that consecrated means...
- sacred; dedicate formally to a
religious or divine purpose.
- to make holy or to dedicate to a
higher purpose.
Consecrated means...
To be a vessel so that God
can work in us and through
us - to represent the Glory
of God.
We are called to be HOLY.
To separate oneself
from any sin.
We are made in the image
and likeness of God.
Consecrated life is like
marriage.
ARE YOU WILLING TO SHARE YOUR HEART WITH OTHERS?
Jn. 10:10
"I have come that you might have life, a life to the
fullest."
Jer. 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord,"
plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give
you hope and a future.
Eph: 5:15-17
15 Be very careful, then, how you live
—not as unwise but as wise, 16
making the most of every
opportunity, because the days are
evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish,
but understand what the Lord’s will
is.
Be careful with how
you walk (live).
Be careful the way
you conduct your
life.
This involves our
decisions, our
direction.
Be mindful of your steps.
There's only one life.
One chance.
We do not live so that we can eat.
Nor do we eat so that we can live.

Jesus Calls His First Disciples
18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called
Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were
fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”
20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his
brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus
called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
Matthew 4:18-22
