By the profession of the evangelical counsels <i>the characteristic features of Jesus <\/i>\u2014 the chaste, poor and obedient one \u2014 <i>are made constantly &#8220;visible&#8221; in the midst of the world <\/i>and the eyes of the faithful are directed towards the mystery of the Kingdom of God already at work in history, even as it awaits its full realization in heaven.&#8221; (Vita Consecrata, 1)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chastity:<\/strong> Our Lord Jesus Christ called us to be united with Him in undivided love. Consecrated Chastity frees us to extend His kingdom\u2026living our lives in union with Him, and proclaiming the love of the Divine Heart of Our Savior. Called to devote ourselves to God alone, with undivided love. \u201cChastity is not a thing at all. It is accepting the call of a Divine Person who promises love and companionship and who can keep His promise in a way nobody else can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Poverty:<\/strong> Jesus Christ is our greatest reward in this life and in eternity. We need to be free in our hearts from everything that does not contribute to the building of the kingdom of God. This call for genuine mortification, not allowing likes and dislikes to rule our lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Obedience:<\/strong> United to Jesus in heart and mind, and prompted by His Holy Spirit\u2026we share in Our Lord\u2019s relationship with the Father and in His mission of salvation. We treasure obedience in community as a life-long opportunity to give ourselves to the Father as Our Lord did.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_images_carousel wpb_content_element vc_clearfix sdsh-carousel\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div id=\"vc_images-carousel-1-1714201628\" data-ride=\"vc_carousel\" data-wrap=\"false\" style=\"width: 700px;\" data-interval=\"5000\" data-auto-height=\"yes\" data-mode=\"horizontal\" data-partial=\"false\" data-per-view=\"1\" data-hide-on-end=\"false\" class=\"vc_slide vc_images_carousel\"><div class=\"vc_carousel-inner\"><div class=\"vc_carousel-slideline\"><div class=\"vc_carousel-slideline-inner\"><div class=\"vc_item\"><div class=\"vc_inner\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Sr-Micaela-and-Sr-Laura-after-Vows-1024x683.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"lightbox[rel-4944-2911629718]\"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sacredheartsisters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Sr-Micaela-and-Sr-Laura-after-Vows-e1469446263485-700x500.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Sr Micaela and Sr Laura after Vows\" title=\"Sr Micaela and Sr Laura after Vows\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px;
