What is it like to live in community?

Answer

 

Living with other women who have a common vision and similar values is one of the greatest blessings of consecrated life.  Life in community can provide one with supportive relationships that are essential in living a vowed life of chastity, poverty and obedience. While community living can be challenging at times, one called to this way of life can find there the necessary strength and nourishment to live the mission of Jesus
