“Purity? They ask. And they smile. They are the very people who approach marriage with worn-out bodies and disillusioned minds. How I wish your bearing and conversation were such that, on seeing or hearing you, people would say: this man reads the life of Jesus Christ.”
                                           -St. Josemaria Escriva

For Reflection:

Why does an unchaste life lead to “worn-out bodies” and “disillusioned minds?” Does my bearing and conversation speak of my relationship with Jesus Christ.

                                        Chapter 7    Page 101

We can trace the cross over our body while praying, “Lord, with this sign I strip off my evil tendencies, the residues of my old nature that still cling to me.”  Then we can sign our selves again, praying , “O Holy Spirit, with this cross I put on Christ and ask you to help me behave as he did.”
