Kryzys życia konsekrowanego łączy się ściśle z kryzysem współczesnego człowieka oraz kryzysem Kościoła. Osłabienie wiary i wierności wybranemu powołaniu skutkuje brakiem świadectwa i w jakiejś mierze wpływa również na spadek liczby powołań. Zarówno słowo Boże, jak też współczesne nauczanie Magisterium Kościoła dają jednak wskazówki, które mogą stać się źródłem odnowy życia zakonnego. To niesie nadzieję, że zakonnicy ponownie staną się wyraźnym znakiem obecności Boga w świecie.

Sources of renewal of the consecrated life

The crisis of the consecrated life is tightly connected with the crisis of the contemporary human being and with the crisis of the Church. Weakening of the faith and lack of faithfulness to the chosen calling results with lack of witnessing and consequently with lower number of vocations. Both the  Word of God and the modern teaching of the Magisterium of the Church give clues, which could become the source of the renewal of the consecrated life. It gives hope that the religious again will become a clear sign of the presence of God in the world.
