From 15-19 September 2015, about 4000 young men and women religious from all parts of the world gathered in Rome to take part in an encounter entitled, Wake Up the World: the Gospel, Prophecy and Hope, organized by the Sacred Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life.
The event, one of many different activities programmed to celebrate the Year of Consecrated Life, revolved around deeper reflections on the consecrated life from the biblical, theological-charismatic and ecclesiological perspectives, interspersed with a sharing of ideas and the celebration of the vocation to the religious life.
Three young Daughters of St. Paul from three different delegations participated in the encounter: Srs. Veronica Bernasconi (Italy), Anne Nikki Ramos (Spain) and Sylvia Skonieczna (Poland). Together they opened a Facebook page to share some of the moments of the event via pictures, programs, the content of the talks delivered, and an account of what they were doing every day.
