BATTER MY HEART
Our vow of celibacy isn't about denying anything, least of all who we are. Rather it's meant to help us discover whose we are, and to whom we belong, not just in our hearts, but with our bodies as well.
ATTEND AND COOPERATE: MONASTIC OBEDIENCE
The vow of obedience is the community and its members listening to God, each other, and themselves to make decisions. It is relational, communal, and collaborative. Obedience comes from the word listen.
