Profetyczny wymiar rad ewangelicznych w obliczu wyzwań współczesnego świata

Abstract

In a world overwhelmed by the dictature of relativism (Benedict XVI), a need arises for a point of constant support that would help bring order to our lives and become a “prophet’s voice”. This role could be performed by the three evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience. Those counsels, traditionally attributed to consecrated people, are in fact addressed by Christ to all His disciples, who by truly following them will carry out the prophetic task which each baptized person has. The article aims to present to what extent living in accordance with the evangelical counsels manages to stand up to the pernicious influence of modern trends.
