“Chastity – the virtue that regulates one’s sexual thoughts, desires, and actions. Primarily a natural virtue, chastity helps one to see the dignity of other persons as children of God and not as sexual objects.”

                                  -Catholic Dictionary

For Reflection:

Chastity can be a difficult virtue to acquire. How does our current culture make it even more difficult? How have I personally experienced the difficulty? What am I willing to do about it?

                                                            Chapter I  Pg 17

And then you bless yourself with the sign of the holy cross….And in this blessing you begin with your hand from the head downward, and then to the left side and after to the right side, in token and belief that Our Lord Jesus Christ came down from the head, that is from the Father into the earth by his holy Incarnation, and from the earth into the left side, that is hell, by his bitter Passion, and from thence unto his Father’s right side by his glorious Ascension.
