When you really see how much God loves you, there's no greater love than that, and I had to match that amount of love He had for me, which is the reason why I decided to take a vow of celibacy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The vow of celibacy is a matter of keeping one's word to Christ and the Church. a duty and a proof of the priest's inner maturity; it is the expression of his personal dignity.
Whatsoever is done out of pure love, be it ever so little or contemptible in the sight of men, is wholly fruitful; for God measures more with how much love one worketh, than the amount he doeth.
When God loves you, what can be better than that?
I might be celibate, but I appreciate the wonder of the sacrament of marriage.
I believe that is what the God experience does for us. It calls us beyond our limits into the fullness of life - into a capacity to love people we are not taught to love - and into an ability to be who we are.
It is my conviction that marriage is such a good idea, only God could have thought of it.
When you receive God's love and encouragement, it will empower you to do more than you ever thought possible.
Love works not for profit nor reward; yet God has ordained that great gain shall be the certain result of every labor of love.
I did 'The Vow' because I really love being in love.
Marrying for love may be a bit risky, but it is so honest that God can't help but smile on it.
