CHASTITY

Consecrated celibacy calls us to develop the riches of the heart.  It is an affirmation of life and love; it expresses our total gift of self to God and to others with all our affection, with all the life-giving powers of our being.  Our celibacy allows us to be present where the most urgent needs are to be found, to give witness as a group to the Father's love for us and to our enduring love for him.
