In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Angela Fortunato on her book Wholeheartedly: God's Mystery of Love in the Call to Celibacy (July 9, 2025)
The vocation of apostolic celibacy is a call from God to dedicate one's life entirely to the needs of the Church. In a world increasingly burdened by distraction from what matters most, this calling is all the more necessary—and all the more attractive. Angela Fortunato enlightens the hearts and minds of her readers in this timely book about apostolic celibacy: its origins and its characteristics, certainly, but also the way this vocation has touched her life and the lives of those around her. Her words are a supportive encouragement to be open to the gentle voice of the Creator, beckoning souls to find joy and fulfillment through him. Young or old, married or single, curious for yourself or for a friend, pick up this book—it will help you gain a better understanding of the vital importance of this vocation in the life of the Church, and how apostolic celibacy can impact your own life!
