Rationality of Consecrated Life According to Benedict XVI
Abstract
The article presents the issue of rationality of the consecrated life according to the teaching of Benedict XVI. The mystery of a life totally devoted to God surpasses the ability of understanding and comprehension based on nothing but the human logic. Consecrated life is a testimony of the choice of rationality open to transcendence – this choice gives the primacy to the creative Reason and has the mystery of the incarnate Logos in its centre. A consecrated person lives according to the evangelical counsels which are understandable only in the light of faith and only according to the evangelical logic. The practice of chastity, poverty and obedience is in visible opposition to some contemporary criteria of rationality. Consecrated life is the way to enlarge the area of rationality.
