Summary/Abstract: This article presents the issue of the mission of consecrated persons in the contemporary world according to the teaching of Francis. According to the Pope, the apostolate of those consecrated to God is not without its uncertainties and difficulties, which arise, above all, from the current condition of consecrated life. Francis has entrusted consecrated persons with the mission of awakening the world. In his view, the defining characteristic of the consecrated life is prophecy. The essence of the mission of consecrated persons is determined by the Gospel. They are called to bring and communicate to all the consolation of God Himself as well as hope. They are to be true spiritual mothers and fathers and to build a culture of encounter
