J.R.D Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 Your Sexuality is who you are, it is how you give the gift of yourself to God through your vocation. to put it simply you're "SPICEy". you share the gift of yourself through your vocation in the following five ways: *spiritually *physically *intelectually *creatively/communcatively *emotionally In order to answer your vocation, you must first learn to give yourself to God. The "Totus Tuus" (Totaly Yours) prayer, which Pope John Paul II wrote and recites daily is a great example of how to give the gift of yourself to God. This Prayer, which is a prayer to the Blessed Mother, the perfect model of chastity, unites our words the very words of Mary and our actions with her humble and submissive actions.

J.R.D Posted October 2, 2004 Author Posted October 2, 2004 Latin (the one the Hol Father says) 'Totus Tuus ego sum et omnia mea Tua sunt. Accipio Te in mea omnia. Praebe mighi cor Tuum, Maria.'
