Responding in faith we accept it with gratitude and we pledge ourselves by vow to live perfect continence in celibacy. We follow Jesus Christ closely by choosing an intensely evangelical way of loving God and our neighbour with undivided heart. Thus with a specific vocation we take our place in the mystery of the Church which is totally united to Christ, and sharing in its fruitfulness we dedicate ourselves to our mission. Don Bosco lived chastity as a love for God and for the young which had no limits. He wanted it to be a distinctive mark of the Salesian Society. Our tradition has always considered chastity a resplendent virtue, bearing special message for the education of youth. https://padlet.com/emmauscenter/xebwpzgai2ya6pk1/wish/1703222610 2021-08-30 01:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/emmauscenter/xebwpzgai2ya6pk1/wish/1703222610 ayimiranda123 https://padlet.com/emmauscenter/xebwpzgai2ya6pk1/wish/1703222939 Br.
