Reflection 327
Based
on the 1965 Vatican II document: (Comments welcome here) |
This article says that Religious should receive proper formation and a tertiary education
Since the time of Vatican II, most religious congregations have seen to this. And most Religious are usually diligent students
But we do not live on degrees alone, and an increase in tertiary degrees has not stopped a steep decline in the membership of most congregations
More about this in future reflections when the Decree discusses vocations
Jesus, please help Religious congregations be more open to the prompting of your Holy Spirit
