189
- By profession, we dedicate ourselves to God, following Christ to lead an evangelical life in the Order. In this way our baptismal consecration becomes more fully effective.
- By the profession of obedience we bind ourselves to live the evangelical counsels, renouncing certain things of undoubted value without detriment to true human development. We embrace Christ’s self-emptying while sharing in his life in the Spirit. So, by being faithful, we give a clearer witness in the Church to the values of the kingdom of heaven.
- We also promise in filial devotion to obey the Virgin Mary, Mother of God, the immensely caring mother of our Order.
- By professing obedience to St Dominic, we also promise to be faithful to his spirit and project.
