CountrySteve937 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Does anyone know if there's a male equivalent to being a consecrated virgin? I don't necessarily mean adopting the feminine spirituality per se, but rather is there a state of life where men can make public vows of celibacy (and poverty and obedience) while still living in the world?
KaytePost Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I think the closest thing would be to join a Secular Institute. They make vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, but live in the world as a lay person. They are connected to a larger community, however live independently. They typically have monthly meetings either in person or virtual, and have a specific prayer commitment daily. Unlike CV life, they do have a specific charism or spirituality within the institute, and a bit more of a formal formation.
