Đức Thánh Cha Lêô XIV: Ơn gọi phát sinh từ cầu nguyện, Tin Mừng, thinh lặng và đời sống cộng đoàn

The Pope told members of the Clara Cappuccine Sisters on September 21, 2026, that religious vocations grow from prayer, the Gospel, silence, and authentic community life.

During a meeting with the sisters in Italy, he acknowledged the reality of declining vocations but encouraged religious communities not to become closed off or lose hope. He affirmed the specific mission that contemplative life holds within the Church.
