Il Papa: vivere la clausura in comunione, il calo vocazioni spinga al rinnovamento

Pope Leo XIV told members of the Federazione delle Monache Clarisse Cappuccine that declining numbers of religious vocations should encourage renewal through better accompaniment of those seeking to enter monasteries. During a meeting with the assembly, the Pope stated that vocations arise from prayer rather than specific strategies.

The Pope invited the members to live their enclosure in a spirit of communion with one another and with the Church. He also encouraged them to use silence to offer a sense of stillness to a society dominated by noise, creating spaces where people feel the need to stop.
