My brother priests and I have committed ourselves to celibacy because we wanted to give the fullness of our lives to our God and his people, in the very same way that Jesus did; who, by the way, was also a single, celibate male.
We all could have been sexually active throughout our lives if we wanted to. It's not that tough to do. It's very popular. We wouldn't have had to look very far for any "action." But we chose not to. We chose to give our lives completely to the will of God.
...
We are all priests because we want to be. We all heard the voice of the Shepherd, and we happily answered his call.
We are not going anywhere. We wouldn't change a thing. And, we would highly recommend this life to anyone.
