In this interview with Pope Francis, Spanish Claretian Fernando Prado draws out the popes thoughts and reflections on the call to live out consecrated life today with an ever-new vitality. This plainspoken conversation with Pope Francis took place in 2018 at the popes residence. Filled with personal anecdotes from his own pastoral work, Pope Francis tells the story of the changes that have come to consecrated life in recent decades, challenges that need to be proactively addressed, and lessons from the past that can be applied to bring wisdom to governance and vitality to daily life in religious orders and seminaries. Pope Francis also shares pivotal moments from his own path in religious life.
