  • Summary

  • CHASTITY
    1. Chastity consists in preserving the mind and body free from everything that might stain their innocence.
    2. Those who lead a life of chastity possess the sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit in abundant measure ; they will be happy here on earth, and will enjoy special distinction in heaven here after.
    3. It is the bounden duty of every man to preserve chastity inviolate until he embraces the married state.
    4. The following means should be employed for the preservation of chastity: We should be temperate, accustom ourselves to exercise self-control, receive the sacraments frequently, pray devoutly to the Mother of God, love to meditate upon the truths of religion, especially upon the presence of God and the four last things; finally we should observe moderation in frequenting the ballroom and the theatre, and be guarded in our intercourse with persons of the opposite sex.

    UNCHASTITY
    1. Unchastity consists in thoughts, words, or deeds, which are destructive of innocence.
    2. Unchaste persons do not possess the sanctifying grace of the Holy Ghost, they are severely chastised by God in this life, and after death are condemned to eternal perdition.
    3. The best means of avoiding the sin of impurity is flight.
