Formation for Consecrated Virginity Lived in the World: Phase II

Consecrated Virginity lived individually in the world (not in a convent) is both the most ancient and [revived since Vatican II] the fastest growing vocation for women in the Catholic Church today. Yet, proper formation for this consecration has often been inadequate and fragmented. In Formation for Consecrated Virginity, Joyce Stolberg endeavors to bring together various sources: doctrinal, catechetical, spiritual, moral, psychological, and practical, to comprise a challenging and well-rounded second phase of formation for those who experience a call to this sacred way of life. Included are pages of reflection questions designed to assist the candidate in assessing her progress as she continues preparing for the vocation.
