BROTHERS OF CHARITY TANZANIA

Vows

The life of a religious brother is a life of consecrated celibacy, in which the brother commits his life to God and God alone, and in which he finds profound joy. He voluntarily chooses not to marry and consecrate his life to God.

As a religious brother, he shapes his life by professing three vows:

• Vow of Obedience: He expresses that he wants to go out into the world and truly listen, and be open to any question that may arise, following the example of Jesus Christ.
• Vow of Poverty: He adopts a frugal and austere way of life and gladly shares all of his gifts and talents with those who lack so much.
• Vow of Chastity: He promises to embrace a life of celibacy and approach his own life and that of another in a pure, open way.
