Download or read book Living Celibacy written by Gerdenio Sonny Manuel and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Celibacy presents five pathways toward promoting the psychosexual health of Catholic priests: (1) Live close to God and one's deepest desires; (2) Develop broad and deep interpersonal relationships and communities of support; (3) Ask for love, nurture others, and negotiate separation; (4) Cope with stress and recognize destructive patterns of behavior; (5) Celebrate the holy. The pathways are not a theology of celibacy, nor do they explain why one chooses a celibate lifestyle. Rather they describe how chastity is experienced and enacted, what some of the opportunities and struggles might be, and how the experience of celibacy can enrich priestly life and ministry. Sensible, thoughtful, sane, informed by real-life examples, and well-grounded in both Catholic spirituality and contemporary psychology, Living Celibacy will prove a valuable resource to all priests who seek to be loving, celibate men. Too often books on this important aspect of priestly life neglect the psychological dimensions of the celibacy, view it only from a "sacrificial" point of view, or rely on an overly abstract theology. But as a longtime priest and professional psychologist, Sonny Manuel brings a perspective on the celibate life that offers insights both spiritual and practical. This is an ideal book for anyone frorn-4 first-year seminarian to an experienced priest. Book jacket.

Download or read book Why Celibacy Reclaiming the Fatherhood of the Priest written by Fr. Carter Griffin and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Church today demands a profound renewal of celibate priesthood and the fatherhood to which it is ordered.” Priestly celibacy, some say, is an outdated relic from another age. Others see it as a lonely way of life. But as Fr. Carter Griffin argues in Why Celibacy?: Reclaiming the Fatherhood of the Priest, the ancient practice of celibacy, when lived well, helps a priest exercise his spiritual fatherhood joyfully and fruitfully. Along the way, Griffin explores: the question of optional celibacy some pitfalls of celibate paternity the selection and formation of candidates for celibate priesthood why biological fathers are also called to spiritual fatherhood the powerful impact of celibacy on the Church and the wider culture In a critical moment for the Catholic priesthood, Fr. Griffin brings light and hope with a new perspective on the Church’s perennial wisdom on celibacy.

Download or read book Celebrate the Wait written by Prophetess Sandra Wilson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a question and answer guide to most of life's many questions? And one of them is, do you want to be abstinent? or celibate? Well there is a difference between the two, and both means more than just withholding sex, We want the women, or the men, that may read this book to understand that every abstinence purpose has a plan, and every celibate plan is never without a purpose. And if you are thinking about being abstinent, or celibate, well then you have got the right book. For the record abstinence simply says that you are going to abstain from having sex, for a certain period. While, celibacy puts you on a path of absolute celibacy until marriage or forever. While to some celibacy is a journey, to others, abstinence may be a trip. Celibacy is also an act of faith, meaning faith is something that, according to the word of God we all have a measure of faith. Romans 12:3. And since faith is an action word when we decide to make the decision to be celibate, we are saying to ourselves and to the world. That this is the path that I have chosen, that will hopefully lead me to the preparation for marriage.

Download or read book Celibacy written by Heinz-Jürgen Vogels and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1993 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church is at present tearing itself to pieces over the issue of the law of clerical celibacy. It might seem to some only a marginal or administrative problem, but it in fact goes to the heart of the matter on every side of modern church life. It is, of course, first of all an issue of sexuality, originall deriving from a beleife that all sex produces moral impurity. But it has gone on to become an issue about power, about pastoral care, and about sheer honesty. The publication in English of Vogel's scholaraly study of the subject is immensely to be welcomed. -from the Foreword byAdrien Hastings
