Eschatology and religious life

[tiagosgd]

Hello.
Any one knows anything about eschatology and religious life? What are the connections between they?
Could you tell me sites to consult or explain it to me briefly?
thanks

Um… I’m not sure exactly which direction you’re wanting to head with this question, but my first guess is that you’re looking for the eschatological meaning of religious life?
Religious men and women, who are living celibately for the sake of the kingdom, are called to live heaven on earth. Theologically speaking, this is because, by nature of their vows, they are set aside in an intimate union with Christ alone. While married people can certain obtain the same level of intimacy, their life is never focused on God alone. It is necessarily focused on their spouse and children. A Sister, on the other hand, is the bride of Christ, and she is already enjoying on earth- in a limited capacity- that union with God alone for Whom her soul was created.
Am I on the right track with your question?
