Profession - Professio religiosa (Latin)

Japanese: 誓願式 - せいがんしき（英語表記）professio religiosa[ラテン]

A liturgy of monastic vows unique to the monastic life of the Catholic Church. After joining, members take temporary vows after completing a prescribed period of novitiate, then renew their vows for a certain period of time, and finally take perpetual vows. All vow ceremonies are held during Mass, following the Liturgy of the Word. The content is centered on vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience based on the exhortations of the Gospel, but each order also vows to consecrate their lives to God through that order, according to its unique spirituality and purpose. For this reason, the superior of the order witnesses the vows (Ordo professionis religiosae, 1970).

Japanese:

カトリック教会の修道生活に固有な修道誓願の典礼。入会後，所定の修練期を終えてから有期誓願を立て，続いて一定の期間，誓願更新を繰り返し，最後に終生誓願を立てる。誓願式は，いずれもミサの中で，ことばの典礼に引き続いて行われる。内容は，福音の勧告に基づく貞潔，清貧，従順の誓いが中心となっているが，それぞれの修道会の固有の霊性と目的によって生涯をその会を通して神に奉献することを誓う。そのためその修道会の上長が誓願に立ち会う(《誓願式Ordo professionis religiosae》1970)。
