Class update for March 06

Submitted by Suchi Myjak on

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.
