Consider Becoming A Crosier
Share in a living tradition
The living elements of our tradition include strong community life, and also a commitment to the life-giving Cross. In addition, our membership in a canonical order demands that we be faithful to common liturgical prayer and our other forms of worship within our own communities and in our apostolates. This heritage must be emphasized beginning in the years of novitiate and formation. [Cons 4.1]

In order to be faithful to our calling and to create a fruitful apostolate inside and outside of the community, it is absolutely essential that we be men marked by a faith that is authentic. Consequently, in the years of initial formation and training, the greatest attention must be devoted to a genuine life of faith. Everything conducive to a personal realization of authentic faith must be incorporated into our program of formation. [Cons. 23.1]
