But, it makes sense that these single people must find their sacred identity from God. They must discern what is the Divine Purpose of their state of life.
I would imagine that these single people where taking care of their immediate family by working for them. They might also spend a considerable time taking care of a sick family member. There might be many personal reasons and we cannot rush into judgment about their state of life.
But, what if they remained single because of a past “wound†that wouldn’t heal? It could be from a relationship that did not blossom. It could also be because they are looking forward meeting a future spouse. And, they are waiting and waiting…
What do they do in the process?
They probably make themselves busy by working all the time. They probably are very lonely.
What prevents them from consecrating their “virginity†to God? or their single life in the service of God?
Are they confusing “their earthly missions†and their “vocations†as the same thing?
