Drawing upon the moral theology of St. John Paul II, this work illuminates a central yet often overlooked aspect of the spousal meaning of the body for the ordained and consecrated: its eternal significance. The author weaves together the Saint's teachings to engage the minds, hearts, and wills of those in consecrated life. It is offered with the hope of inspiring a renewed, passionate living of celibate love-in imitation of Christ, who models the way through His open Sacred Heart.
