But then we get a three-week break until the next one.

Last time, we completed Chapter 9: Celibacy & Religious Life, plus Chapter 10: Finding Your Vocation.

Key points on Celibacy & Religious Life:

Class will be meeting next Sunday, March 13.

Last time, we started on Chapter 9: Celibacy & Religious Life. Since our time was short, we will finish up next time. Some key points covered so far:

• Celibacy in an exceptional calling from God.
• Just like marriage, celibacy is a vocation - a call from God -
• not merely a choice made by an individual.
• Celibacy for the Kingdom is a total self-donation to God and neighbor, showing the world what it means to love God with all your heart.
• While marriage acts as a sign that points to the "wedding feast" of heaven, the celibate life does so even more directly.
