Is it all about money and time? Or, is there something deeper that troubles us? It will be more like a conversation between the presenters and the audience. Our keynote speakers have been examining these issues for the past 30 years; as a result, they come well-prepared to present, listen and offer their expert advice.
Theresa Notare, Ph. The afternoon sessions will include a short summary by each of the speakers and will conclude with minutes of conversation between the speakers and the audience. You chose the celibate life not out of distain for human sexuality but rather to consecrate heroically and enhance your humanity in all things sensitive, affective, and emotional.
Being mindful that human sexuality is such an integral part of our psychic life, even for those who unlike me, have same sex attractions or temptations to such, I am also mindful that in ways and means perhaps not understood fully be humanity at present, our limited human sexuality in this life will too in a sense be Resurrected complete although in angelic purity at the Final Resurrection of the Dead at the End of Time and may also exist for those in Heaven and in Purgatory in ways not clearly discernable by we human still alive on Earth simply because Purgatory then Heaven accentuate our personalities instead of corrupting them and because GOD has made us in HIS Image and likeness, Male and Female.
I therefore offer up my solely and fully heterosexuality to live out my life as a single man as a sacrifice so that those looking for authentic human heterosexual romance can find the partner of their dreams which for Catholics seeking the married life, should be at least under ordinary circumstance, full Holy Matrimony. For all of those who are insecure about their sexuality and who have been bullied in sexual manners, sexually abused, or who have non-violent as well as violent sexual crimes committed against them, I offer up my life and sexuality as a single man as a sacrifice so that all such persons can come to a peaceful acceptance of their sexuality and know that You cherish them as another self in all things emotional and affective, big and small.
For those struggling with sexual identity and insecurities regarding their sexuality, I offer up my full and solely heterosexuality as a sacrifice so that they can find peaceful acceptance of their sexualities. For those whose capacity for sexual feelings has been eroded due to physical or emotional disability, injury, or illness, and who want very much to regain the use of their degraded ability for sexual expression, I pray for their complete healing in these regards.
