What a Grace this is
-
September 4, 2021What a Grace this is for those who have been called to follow Christ and our Holy Mother in this way; to begin living here on earth the espousal union with God to which we are all ultimately called in Heaven. May young people, and older, discern their vocations wisely. +Jesus, Divine Bridegroom of our souls, we love you!+"Innumerable is a multitude of those who from the beginning of the church until our time have offered their Chastity to God. Some have preserved their virginity unspoiled, others after the death of their spouse, have consecrated to God their remaining years in the unmarried State, and still others, after repenting their sins, have chosen to lead a life of perfect chastity, all of them at one in this common oblati, that is, for love of God to abstain for the rest of their lives from sexual pleasure....
To all these beloved Sons and Daughters who in anyway have consecrated their bodies and souls to God, we address ourselves, and exhort them honestly to strengthen their holy resolution and be faithful to it." (Sacra Virginitas, encyclical of Pope Pius the XII on consecrated virginity)
