Consecrated Virgins: the Spouse of Christ...



"Especially you, consecrated virgins, in a world where egoism and the search for pleasure would become law, be the guardians of purity, unselfishness, and piety. Jesus, who has given to conjugal love all its plentitudes, has also exalted the renouncement of human love when this is for the sake of divine love and for the service of all."
-Closing Messages of the Council, 1965.

The picture isn't in bad taste!! It shows a real nun.

Not the aged, bitter, dissenting whining femminist habitless nuns we have in the USA.

And much of Europe.

I hope this Order has many vocations!!
