Elsa had proposed that the EB Zollitsch ' to take heart concern, but are more deeply into the taboo subject of sexuality. Although I have not had the impression that all bloggers have changed their concept, but I take the invitation as an opportunity once, something on the representation of the Virgin Consecrata as (young) woman to write. A few months ago I found a great article about a young Polish nun (31), in which he has spoken very openly and refreshingly course of their vocation and of her womanhood. Two samples, own translation.
"... Obviously, I want to please as a woman when I buy clothes, something in which I look good I do not want to be dressed in a sack before. my identity to run away. I'm quite a woman. And like any like I want. "" Sure, I would like to touch Him. Easy Sun But I know that here on earth now, is impossible. Beloved, dear, I speak to Him often. Also: Almighty, faithfully, most beautiful. But it does not matter to me how Jesus looks like. I do not pray in front of a devotional. I do so that He is the most beautiful of all. . For He is God "This makes it a" Dr Tadeusz Bartos "," philosopher and theologian, former Dominicans'
"The band is spousal love with imagination. Despite everything, the church tried to back away from this type of religiosity. It is not too healthy. You distorted the religion, often causes an unhealthy religious experience. This girl (!!!!!) has sentenced to the enormous strain of life in solitude. Of course they will try to idealize this loneliness to make it normative. I do not know, maybe she has a special gift, a charisma. It happens. Often the decision to remain virgin, and Jesus' wife, reflecting a response to a particular religion type, a strange religious indoctrination. Consider the situation in the following way: Can someone not have a partner, find him in his head and is in contact with him. This is certainly not healthy personality development. Religion should not be used to escape from the vicinity of another person "
Finding the maraschino cherry on the top we immediately following, donated by Professor Zbigniew Izdebski, a" Sexuologen " (OMG!) .
given the supposedly asexual Virgo."I want to live on no account one's religious motivation in purity, somehow qualify or criticize. Generally speaking, there are many women who have received no sexual relations, which are not going and happy. You just need sex. In Poland there are about 2% of the population in such People. Men, too. The World Sexology Society (???) even wants to add to the three already existing sexual orientations, the asexual orientation "
"I'll have no husband, a man I touch, in whose arms I can hug me. That makes me a little scared. And I have just one phase, naturally in a woman's life that when I look at children, hurts the heart, because I will not have their own. But this is normal. If that were not, then I would not be normal. And I love children. In my life I experience motherhood - but spiritual. I'm in a group that prepared in the academic counseling KUL adults for baptism. I think catechesis. So I would bear them in a certain sense of God. To new life "So again for the record: If a young woman wants her first love give God, who himself moved their heart to it (so it says in the prayer of consecration), then she or her religiosity sick or to one . the 2% of people in need as an exotic anomaly is no sexuality (Of course there are such cases - but here it is, that was the rule and even in this concrete situation of the case!) To find it, asked you a scientist (?), Who probably did not give a damn idea about the spiritual life by struggling but at least to tolerance (because it just fits to a recent thesis?) Or beaten Dominicans, ie someone who who with his decision for the spiritual life out of whatever reason, situated beside and / or failed. The judge may so much better about it than the 3500 virgins of various persuasions on God's beautiful world, or the vast majority of clerics and devotees to experience the promised chastity in a different freedom and enriching their lives, happy, and deep Radiate satisfaction ...
The full interview with the Polish nun pleased with this natural sincerity. You notice: This is a very normal young woman who touched Jesus, and so much in itself, has drawn that they could not help but benefit, and give him back to his account almost entirely human and natural life wishes: . the marital relationship, having children One of the virgins-antiphons means also: "You, my groom, have I kept myself against you I hurry with a burning lamp ... "
love self-appointed experts, you are wrong much! That mystical betrothal was ultimately a neurosis can safely assert only someone who has never really God or . has experienced Christ's presence and who "asexual" is -. if there is such a thing - neither celibacy nor the consecrated virginity is to understand fully, and his (spiritual) life is that sometimes very painful, but effective growth means the real victim missing. And the authenticity? Wow so I have someone to be vegetarians for ethical reasons, when I was always able to hunt with a steak?
Nobody is saying that celibacy is easy - especially when the ghost images of everyday life by the data (which, however well directed primarily to men) is in fact a kind of appetite is constantly created - and in terms of Chastity and the means to do well in confession, there speechless. I find it just a mistake, the phrase "Christ alone is" overstretching. Christ works through people, and there is human contact that here on earth with Him is not possible in the long run, as one would sometimes like. His closeness felt experience, these are mostly short grace moments that He gives all free, which can produce not force it. But He also gives people a real time then listen for hours. Good friends (plural), ideally with other celibate who know each other and each having / r is a bit of an eye that no friendship is too specific, that helps. My heart as a whole, my life as a whole but only heard him. And that makes me just as happy today as eight years ago.
