Wisdom from Francis Cardinal Arinze

 
 
 

Chastity is about true love for other people: ‘Thou shalt love’, which also contains a negative element, ‘Thou shalt not use’. This virtue is about loving kindness toward other people. It rejects any type of ‘utilization’ of that person. Chastity affirms the value of the other person.

—Francis Cardinal Arinze

from his book, Radical Discipleship: Consecrated Life and the Call to Holiness

A VOCATIONAL REFLECTION

Radical Discipleship illuminates the vocation of the consecrated state and its presence in the Body of Christ. Cardinal Arinze addresses some of the problems faced by consecrated people, seeks to encourage other consecrated persons to persevere in their vocation, and calls the entire Church to support the consecrated life and those who have dedicated themselves to Christ in this way.
