- Those who aspire to make the vow of chastity in the Order should appreciate the role and dignity of marriage, which represents the love of Christ for the Church. They should realise that they are called by the grace of God to give a higher witness of that same love.
- Since the observance of perfect continence touches the deepest human instincts, and is a requirement in our Order for a fruitful apostolic ministry, it is essential that the brothers grow in physical, psychological and moral maturity.
- While chastity takes deeper and firmer root, the brothers need positive instruction and other appropriate helps, both divine and human, so that they can overcome the difficulties that arise and thus arrive at complete emotional integrity, both natural and supernatural.
