Those who in life choose continence for the kingdom of
heaven do so, not because it is inexpedient to marry or
because of a supposed negative value of marriage, but in
view of the particular value connected with this choice
and which must be discovered and welcomed personally as
one's own vocation. For that reason Christ said:"He wwho
is able to receive this, let him receive i" (Mt 19:12).
But immediately beforehand he said:" Not all men can
receive this precept, but only those to whom it is given"
(Mt19:11).
