Popis: The thesis describes motivation of candidates for religious life in apostolic active Congregations in Czech Republic, who entered a religious order or congregation after 2000. That year was significant. Since that time on religious orders in general have experienced lower number of young women entering religious life. Description of the motivation is accompanied by the look into the past and the impact of the communist regime on life and mission of women's religious orders and congregations as well as the influence on religiousness of public. The outcome of the long influence of the regime was remarkably displayed after 1989. Not only has The Velvet Revolution brought along freedom but it also brought changes in the value system and the ways of life for the society in general. My thesis considers those changes, especially when speaking about young people, because those changes could have an influence on motivation candidates for entering a religious order.
