dc.description.abstractThis Research Paper presents the evangelical counsels as means of communion. It is divided into three chapters. The first chapter explores the evangelical counsels as a means of communion as presented in the documents of the Church which comprises: the meaning and understanding of the evangelical counsels in Church’s teaching, evangelical counsels as means of building communion which is rooted in the Trinity as basis of love and communion. It also expounded on the Church as communion, Evangelical Counsels as means of communion as experienced and expressed by Blessed Francisco Palau and Missionaries’ Charism. The second chapter will deal with some of the challenges in living the evangelical counsels as means of communion, while the third chapter will be focusing on ways of overcoming the challenges. The evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience is a very important mark of religious consecration in the Catholic Church. Baptism is the fundamental Sacrament of Christian initiation which opens the door to the other Sacraments in the Catholic Church. Baptism is also the foundation on which religious consecration, through the profession of the evangelical counsels is built. The evangelical counsels further dedicate a person to God’s people in a particular congregation ratified by the authority of the Church.” In his Letters, Blessed Francisco Palau wrote to his daughters in Lerida and Aytona, he advices them to be of one heart animated by one and the same spirit. His wish is made alive in the formula of the profession of the Carmelite Missionaries; […] in union with all the Carmelite Missionaries, I resolve to persevere in my vocation, living my religious consecration in the joy of a sisterly community and in the service of the Church.” Every Carmelite Missionary strives to live a life of communion which in the core of their Charism; “to be an authentic sign of communion in the church” and our community is seen as a small Church. According to the Formation Guide of the Carmelite Missionaries, Incarnated Grace on the Way, “The call to follow Christ who consecrates us for the Kingdom is the characterized presence of the mystery of communion; the living Charism incarnated in Francisco Palau, enriched by his ecclesial experience and enfleshed in each sister who accepts and lives it in fidelity as the profile of the Carmelite Missionary.en_US
