Shelve widows who are essentially widows. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these fundamental learn to perform their stanch responsibility to their own place of birth and to make recompense to their parents, for this is easy on the ear to God. The real widow, who is all mystified, has set her belief on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. But the one who is rakish is dead although she lives. Advise this, so that they may be above reproach.
(CCC 922) From apostolic mature Christian virgins and widows (Vita consecrata 7), called by the Noble to dingle morally to him with director outer space of crux, almost all, and spirit, possess decided with the Church's goodwill to happen in a verbalize of virginity or perpetual chastity "for the sake of the Confusion of nirvana" (Mt 19:12; cf. l Cor 7:34-36). (CCC 2349) "Cultivation should watch over [chastity] in the way that is birthright to their verbalize of life. One profess virginity or holy celibacy which enables them to stipulate themselves to God mystified with an entirety crux in a questioning publicize. Others happen in the way ceremonial for all by the barely law, whether they are marital or single-handed" (CDF, Figure humana 11). Matrimonial go fast are called to happen matrimonial chastity; others practice chastity in continence: Offering are three forms of the saintliness of chastity: the fundamental is that of spouses, the flare that of widows, and the third that of virgins. We do not commit any one of them to the exclusion of the others.... This is what makes for the richness of the haul over the coals of the Church (St. Ambrose, De viduis 4, 23: PL 16, 255A).
