'+Description+': The Apostolic Exhortation ''Vita Consecrata'' does not deal separately with each of the evangelical counsels. It unites them in the single grace of the ''sequela Christi'', limiting itself here and there to the particular significance, values or demands of each. In this way it emphasizes the character of a personal rapport with the Lord which belongs to profession and the spiritual dimension of the vows. Each counsel implies specific attitudes and commitments, but ultimately includes the other two as well. It is difficult to think of a consistent and luminous chastity detached from the poverty which consists in the total offering of one's personal and material goods, or from the obedience of heart which makes one available for the mission, cost what it may. And vice versa. (Fr Vecchi in his letter on Chastity. 1999). Consecrated chastity (this term is more frequent than evangelical chastity in our literature) is a gift of God as Father and a free response on the part of the human being who wishes to follow the virginal life of Jesus. It implies celibacy as a state of life and the practice of continence appropriate to such a state. While Don Bosco obviously refers to chastity in terms of a vow, he more often spoke of the "virtue of chastity" and emphasised its importance, in the context of "morality" and "purity", two terms he very frequently used synonymously with chastity.

 

'+Context (examples of use)+': “Shortly afterwards, I witness a shower of flashing, fiery tongues of many colors, followed by thunder and then clear skies. Then I found myself in a charming garden. A man who looked like Saint Francis de Sales silently handed me a booklet. I asked him who he was. “Read the book”, was his reply. I opened it but had trouble reading, managing only to make out these precise words: “For the Novices: Obedience in all things. Through obedience they will deserve God's blessing and the good will of men. Through diligence they will fight and overcome the snares set by the enemies of their souls.” “For the Confreres: jealously safeguard the virtue of chastity. Love your confreres' good name promote the honor of the Congregation. (From the 1879 dream of St John Bosco)
