No, the future of not just religious life, but lay life lies in a lively interior life with God. 

Prayer, contemplation, examination, resolution, beginning again with God, rectifying the will with the will of God, reading His Word, receiving the Sacraments well and frequently.

Read the Soul of the Apostolate, and you will understand why charity is the overflow of the interior life.  

Our daily "buoyancy" is a function of the quality and intensity and sincerity of our prayer. 

Whoever wrote this article needs to read the Soul of the Apostolate.
