Sažetak
Dealing with this topic the author pays special attention to
the major ecclesiastic events and some important documents of
the Magisterium in the last decades. In the research he starts
from the II. Vatican Council, concretely from the dogmatic
constitution Lumen gentium, through the text of Paul VI in
Evangelii nuntiandi and the Synod on consecrated life in 1994,
to the apostolic exhortation Vita consecrata, to present the
development of thought and gradual understanding and adopting
the prophet’s dimension of consecrated life. Taking for certain
that consecrated life has a prophet’s dimension, the author analyses the prophecy of consecrated life today. Having explained
the biblical-theological meaning of the prophet, he considers the
basic content of any prophecy applied to consecrated life, i.e. he
points to the significance of prophecy of consecrated life. In the
last part he discusses the prophecy over which the consecrated
live and witness their existence: providing they are a community of
believers, community of brothers and community of apostles who
live the evangelic advice, formed by theological virtues.
