“If you wish to prevent evil thoughts, let your eyes be modestly reserved, and make a league with them never to look upon anything which is not permitted you to desire.”

                             -St. Gregory of Nyssa
For Reflection:

St. Gregory of Nyssa recommends taking “custody of the eyes.” What does this mean? To what extent do I take in through the senses that which is morally illicit – especially regarding chastity? How can I best follow St. Gregory’s advice?
(See tomorrow’s Grace Line to discover how to protect all of the senses from sins against chastity.)

Regarding baptism, St. Cyril of Jerusalem said, “The invocation of grace marking your soul with its seal prevents the terrible demon from swallowing you up.”
