The term "religious life" refers to a way of living that is guided by religious principles and beliefs. It can refer to the lives of individuals who have chosen to dedicate their lives to serving God or a particular faith, often through joining a monastic order or becoming a member of a religious organization. In this context, they may live in community with others who share their beliefs and values, following a specific set of rules or guidelines that govern their daily activities, including prayer, worship, and service to others. The goal is often to grow spiritually and to seek a closer relationship with God through living a life of devotion and self-discipline.
