CHASTITY
An undivided heart. A joyful witness.
Undivided love for Christ
Through consecrated chastity, entailing perfect continence in celibacy, members are called to undivided love for Christ and his spouse, the Church. There will be careful discernment to see whether one is truly called to this way of life of celibacy for the Kingdom of God (can. 599).
' There is a need for… [people]… who can rediscover in the Christian faith, that virginity which is in the heart of each one and which leads immediately to the Eternal, the source of all love.' In Verbo Tuo, 12b.
Friendship, support and understanding
A spirit of prayer and healthy asceticism, regular reception of the sacraments, filial devotion to Our Lady, a well-balanced lifestyle and responsible use of the instruments of social communication, will help us to live this vow in its fullness.
The development of healthy friendships within and outside of the community will allow us to live the call to chastity as a positive and joyful witness in today's world.
Each member will be responsible for creating a climate of real, deep and sincere love in community, recognising that the living of this vow is often demanding and requires mutual support and understanding.
