More wisdom from Francis Cardinal Arinze

 
 
 

In the New Testament, people in the consecrated state are called to be like leaven in society, to fulfill a prophetic role in radically calling the attention of society to the importance of following Christ. We are disciples of Christ. We are to take the Gospel call to discipleship seriously. The consecrated keep on reminding us of this fact, like the prophets of the Old Testament.

—Francis Cardinal Arinze

from his book, Radical Discipleship: Consecrated Life and the Call to Holiness
