Religious brothers and sisters gathered for Mass at St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh on Sunday to mark World Day of Consecrated life.
In his homily, Archbishop Cushley said: "They have dedicated themselves to a life of perfect charity, of complete and single-minded focus on living a life dedicated to the Lord.
"Let's keep them in our prayers and let's pray for vocations to the religious life."
In the Archdiocese there are 12 Institutes of Consecrated Life (and Societies of Apostolic Life) for men and 15 for women.
View them on this website under at the Vocations tab ('Religious Life') here.
