II. The Vocation to Chastity
2347 The virtue of chastity blossoms in friendship. It shows
the disciple how to follow and imitate him who has chosen us as his
friends,133 who has given himself totally to us and allows us
to participate in his divine estate. Chastity is a promise of immortality.
Chastity is expressed notably in friendship with one’s neighbor. Whether it
develops between persons of the same or opposite sex, friendship represents a
great good for all. It leads to spiritual communion.
