APREL - The Association for the Promotion of Religious Life .. Australia

WHAT DO WE DO TO PROMOTE RELIGIOUS LIFE?

Our main activities as members of APREL are

PRAYER

EDUCATION and

WITNESS

all of which are directed to making the vocation to Religious Life known more clearly, appreciated more deeply and embraced more faithfully.

 

 

 

"The call to holiness ...

can be cultivated only in the silence of adoration before the infinite transcendence of God."

(Vita Consecrata" n38)
Prayer is the 'Centre' of our lives.

We are engaged in a wide range of educational endeavours as Religious

"Young people are not deceived: when they come to you, they want to see what they do not see elsewhere ..." ("Vita Consecrata" n.109)

 

Personal Witness even from the Cloister is our presence in the Church

" (religious) bear splendid and striking testimony that the world cannot be transformed and offered to God without the spirit of the beatitudes ..." ("Lumen Gentium" n31)
