The Voluntas profess the vow of chastity so as to witness to others through their vocation to universal love. Like every other human being, the Voluntas needs to love and be loved, but they refuse to become enslaved in a friendship which would estrange them from God or their sisters and brothers.

In a world that is withdrawing into itself and giving vent to its instincts in an uncontrolled manner, chastity becomes the positive and living example of self-control and of life in the spirit' (Paul VI). This is why some commit themselves to celibacy, ‘a special sign of celestial realities,' for an exclusive consecration of their love to God and to the interests of His Kingdom .

Married people, while dedicating their lives to the service of the Gospel, shall bear witness to an exemplary conjugal (and family) life.

In a world where marriage and family life are questioned and even rejected by some, married Voluntas shall preach through the example of their personal lives as couples who are happy to build a life in reference to the Gospel and the Church's directives.

In this same materialistic world that depreciates and often ridicules consecrated celibacy, the celibate Voluntas - priest or lay person - shall bear witness to the fact that this lifestyle can speak to everyone of the great Christian spiritual values.
