The pope's commitment to his religious vocation captures our minds and hearts. He clearly seeks a "lifelong, undistracted, single-focused God-quest," as Sr. Sandra Schneiders describes consecrated religious life.
It is a joyous occasion to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis' papacy and a privilege to share thoughts on the impact he has had on the world and on Indian women religious in particular over this decade.

Pope Francis' strong and clear words highlight the need to continue fighting for the dignity of women religious and the need for respectful, fair and correct cooperation.
