“Holy purity, the queen of virtues, the angelic virtue, is a jewel so precious that those who possess it become like the angels of God in heaven, even though clothed in mortal flesh.”

                                                 -St. John Bosco

For Reflection:

What does the word “purity” mean to me? How do I demonstrate it? (Consider thoughts, words, and deeds.) With regard to purity, would someone describe me as an angel “clothed in mortal flesh?” Why or why not? What am I willing to do about it?

“Never leave your house without making the sign of the cross.  It will be to you a staff, a weapon, an impregnable fortress.  Neither man nor demon will dare to attack you, seeing you covered with such powerful armor.  Let this sign teach you that you are a soldier, ready to combat against the demons, and ready to fight for the crown of justice.  Are you ignorant of what the cross has done?  It has vanquished death, destroyed sin, emptied hell, dethroned Satan, and restored the universe.  Would you then doubt its power?”                                        -St John Chrysostom
