“Vigilance and prayer are the safeguards
of chastity. ‘Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation (Mark 14:38).’ You should pray often and fervently to be preserved from temptations against purity, and for the grace to overcome them.”
-St. John Baptist de la Salle
For Reflection:
To prayer and fasting, St. John Baptist de la Salle adds one more safeguard for chastity. What is it? How can I apply it? (Tomorrow’s Grace Line adds yet another way to protect our chastity.)

Jesus’ victory over death planted a seed of new life in the soil of this broken world. From that point his healing was available for the whole of creation. The love and power of Christ healed people, and Jesus wants to heal us today.
