Paragraph 4. CHRIST’S FAITHFUL – HIERARCHY, LAITY, CONSECRATED LIFE

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

916
The religious state is thus one way of experiencing a “more intimate”
consecration, rooted in Baptism and dedicated totally to God.⁴⁵⁵ In the
consecrated life, Christ’s faithful, moved by the Holy Spirit, propose to
follow Christ more nearly, to give themselves to God who is loved above all
and, pursuing the perfection of charity in the service of the Kingdom, to signify
and proclaim in the Church the glory of the world to come.⁴⁵⁶
