“Delicacy, refinement, consists in permitting one’s self nothing that might offend God. It consists in abstaining, from even the appearance of evil. It is the honor due to our position and life. One preserves it through respect for God and for the honor of His service. No longer to be alive to it, is to have lost the sentiment of honor. It is the callousness, besottedness of the drunkard who reels along the streets oblivious of his shameful condition. What can make him blush? Does he still think himself a man?” -St. Peter Julian Eymard
