Virtue Quote: St. Cyril of Jerusalem

"Let all vain ornament be banished, and every hurtful glance, and all wanton gait, and every flowing robe, and perfume enticing to pleasure. But in all for perfume let there be the prayer of sweet odour, and the practice of good works, and the sanctification of our bodies: that the Virgin-born Lord may say even [...]

Virtue Quote: St. Peter Julian Eymard

"The vow of obedience consummates the sacrifice of the religious. It is the essential vow of religion. It alone might suffice, for it eminently comprises the others. It perfects the holocaust begun by poverty in the goods of fortune, and continued by chastity in those of the body, by offering to God the liberty, the [...]

Daily Virtue Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"Purity as a Christian virtue is revealed in the Pauline letters as an effective way of detaching oneself from what is a fruit of the concupiscence of the flesh in the human heart. Abstaining 'from unchastity,' which implies keeping the body 'with holiness and reverence,' allows us to deduce that according to the Apostle’s teaching, [...]

Daily Virtue Quote – St. John Climacus

"To be chaste is to put on the nature of an incorporeal being. Chastity is a supernatural denial of what one is by nature, so that a mortal and corruptible body is competing in a truly marvelous way with incorporeal spirits. A chaste man is someone who has driven out bodily love by means of [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Peter Julian Eymard

"The grace of purity comes only from Our Lord. Communion gives it, increases it, strengthens it, preserves and maintains it against all the assaults of hell, the world, and the flesh. You drink there the virginal Blood of the spotless Lamb. It is absolutely true that, without Communion, one cannot be chaste." Source:  St. [...]

Daily Virtue Quote – St. Francis de Sales

"Purity is the lily among virtues – by it men approach to the Angels.  There is no beauty without purity, and human purity is chastity.  We speak of the chaste as honest, and of the loss of purity as dishonor; purity is an intact thing, its converse is corruption." Source: St. Francis de Sales, [...]
