What can I do as a Presentation Sister that I couldn’t do as a married or lay woman?

Everyone is capable of loving God, having a ministry, caring for others, etc.. Some people even live in community. The difference of living as a religious sister is that we live our lives for God through the three vows we take of poverty, chastity and obedience. The vow of poverty allow us to live freely without attachment to material things as we live with all things in common. The vow of chastity means that we are able to love freely in the way that we do not have a significant other or our own family to put first. In this way, we are able to go where God calls us and respond fully. The vow of obedience allows us to listen to the wisdom of the Presentation community and most importantly to the voice of God within us to discern why, where and how we are to live our lives.
