Pope Francis said today (May 4, 2018) that three "p's" -- prayer, poverty, and patience -- remain the pillars in the consecrated life, according to the Rome Reports website.
The pope said "prayer" helps people return to God, who has called them to that life. It also reminds them that they work for God and not for their own interests or institutions.
"Poverty" is like a wall that protects them from vanity and pride.
And "patience" consists in confronting the little things of community life, even the sacrifice of oneself and carrying on one's shoulders the problems and sufferings of the world.
