The consecrated celibate is not barren. He is not an ecclesiastical bachelor or spinster. By their committed love for other people, consecrated people encourage and nourish the divine life in those people and help them to grow in that life. They become in a way spiritual fathers and mothers.

—Francis Cardinal Arinze

from his book Radical Discipleship
