“As religious, you are called to evangelize not only on a personal level, like every baptized per-son, but also in community form, with fraternal life,” said Pope Francis. While acknowledging the challenges of communal life, the Pope reminded them that it requires “a daily attitude of conversion, requires a willingness to question oneself, vigilance over rigidities, as well as over excessive and ‘comfortable’ tolerance.” Above all, he added, “it requires humility and simplicity of heart, which we must never cease to ask of God, for they come from Him.”
