Religious vows

Religious vows are formal promises made by individuals who choose to dedicate their lives to their faith or spiritual community. These vows often include commitments such as poverty (trusting that material possessions are not essential), chastity (remaining celibate or abstaining from romantic relationships), and obedience (submitting to the rules and leadership of their religious order or community). They serve as a profound expression of commitment and a way to live out specific spiritual ideals, helping individuals focus on their religious mission and community life with dedication and integrity.
