Theological basis of a vow of consecrated chastity

Maciej Budnik

Abstract

The paper shows the theological sense of taking a chastity vow in institutes of consecrated life. The basis of the counsel of chastity is the way of life and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Mother of God is linked with the human existence of Christ. The paper presents Mary as a paragon of a virgin and a mother to the whole Church. It also takes up the subject of the motherhood of the Church which is the immaculate Bride of the Lamb of God – Jesus Christ. All Christians are called to living out the counsel of chastity, but in a theologically fullest way it is expressed by the consecrated ones, that is to say, the ones living in a purity devoted to God in institutes of consecrated life.
