Despite such a great variety of gifts, all those called by God to the practice of the evangelical counsels and who, faithfully responding to the call, undertake to observe the same, bind themselves to the Lord in a special way, following Christ, who chaste and poor (cf. Matt. 8:20; Luke 9:58) redeemed and sanctified men through obedience even to the death of the Cross (cf. Phil. 2:8).
Katika wingi huu wa karama, wale wote wanaoitwa na Mungu kutekeleza mashauri ya kiinjili na kuyatimiza kiaminifu, wanajiweka wakfu kwa Bwana kwa namna ya pekee, kwa kumfuasa Kristo ambaye, akiwa bikira na maskini (taz. Mt 8:20; Lk 9:58), aliwakomboa wanadamu na kuwatakatifuza kwa njia ya utii wake mpaka kufa msalabani (taz. Flp 2:8).
