Abstract
Religious life is one of the greatest gifts of God to his Church, although certain confusions becloud its identity. The Church has attractive definitions of religious life, especially where it says that it is a consecration to God and a way of perfect charity (LG 44). Lumen Gentium presents the Religious as one of the three fundamental groups that make up the life and mission of the Church. However, it is not an intermediate state between the clerical and lay states; rather, religious life participates in both the hierarchical and lay states (LG 43). Vatican II says, moreover, that although religious life does not belong to the hierarchical structure of the Church, it is a special calling that belongs to the life and holiness of the Church (LG 44).
