Particularly chastity after conversion from porn addiction. I know Maria Goretti prayed for him to be in heaven with her, and his life afterwards was a model of contrition. I feel he has helped me in my battles, just as I know St. Maria has helped me too. Yes, he did a bad thing. But so did King David, Moses and countless others. I believe St. Maria would be happy if he was invoked, especially for guys.Life Is Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717193555671087688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-15168981338541264122008-10-09T09:31:00.000-07:002008-10-09T09:31:00.000-07:00Thanks for the comment on my blog, Sister!

Chastity is a VIRTUE. True chastity is something that comes with alacrity, with ease and with JOY.<BR/>You want a patron for chastity? Try St. Dominic de Guzman! He is called "ivory of chastity". On his deathbed he told the friars that he was still a virgin and then also confessed that he preferred the conversation of younger women rather than old ones! <BR/>Chastity should make you MORE human not less. <BR/>Some of the Desert Fathers are great examples of this. My favorite is the story of the monks walking through town and there is a beautiful woman (prostitute) who needs to go across a stream. The elder monk carries her across to the astonishment of the others. Much later he notices their discomfort and asks them what is the matter. When they tell him he says, "I carried that woman acros the water and left her there but you are still carrying her!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-34189277998276779542008-10-06T18:53:00.000-07:002008-10-06T18:53:00.000-07:00There is a saint-in-the-making that I think you wo...There is a saint-in-the-making that I think you would like to know more about---Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati who lived in Italy 1901-1925. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II May 20, 1990. There is a lot of info about him, including 3 books written by his sister about him. The first one is A MAN OF THE BEATITUDES by Luciana Frassati. He is a great saint for a young man (or young lady!)DePorreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727701728619426038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-64804119254157585182008-10-06T07:56:00.000-07:002008-10-06T07:56:00.000-07:00I love that chastity is back "in".

All those broken hearts over and over again, not to mention what devestating effect it has on the kids. I'm also seeing teens stop sleeping around after one of their friends has an abortion. It really rips them apart--they're never quite the same.<BR/><BR/>The Pope had it right with HumanVitae. If you start sleeping around, you become nothing more than a sex object which will be used by others--not loved. How sad!<BR/><BR/>There's something deep about knowing you and your spouse have only been with each other. It seems to become more and more important as they years go by, and other folks are falling into divorce. Anyway, I'm glad chastity is back "in"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-37309224700214853162008-10-05T16:48:00.000-07:002008-10-05T16:48:00.000-07:00What about St. Dominic Savio?
