Witness as a Celibate Person in the Contemporary World.

        At this point we are forced to think on the relationship between the option of celibate love and the situation in which our society exists. Christian love has to assume the sin of the world, has to recover that sin by patient, hope, and must try to make again what sin has destroyed. In the same way the person who has chosen a life of celibacy must spend his life rediscovering the genuine quality of love, and liberating man who is oppressed by being wrapped up in himself.

This work for the liberation of man has its first manifestation in the very presence of the man who by the maturity of his choice, his disinterestedness in self in favours others, makes impact which is a call to something better. His dedication itself creates forms of presence among those who suffer from the exploitation of sex, forms the consequences of considering people as mere tools or machines.

In short this way the celibate person, when he lives a life of genuine love, as outlined above, meets again the family, for every family becomes his family and is possessed in the freedom of the children of God. In this way the celibate gives witness to the love of God as the foundation of all.
