Demand Your Dignity

Sexual temptation is a huge problem in our world. No longer is sex sacred, but love between a husband and wife is nearly taken out of the picture. That's why it is such a blessing to have teachings on Theology of the Body! Sr. Helena Burns, a sister of the Order of St. Paul, who's mission is to evangelize using media, gave a talk to us on Theology of the Body a few days ago. In her talk, she reminded us about the importance of chastity and abstinence. She said that we have to be the evangelizers to those who struggle with sexual temptation, teaching them the importance of abstinence until marriage,. Surprisingly, girls are more sexually tempted than guys. It is out job to reach out to them and help them, where other guys wouldn't. We can be good counselors and supporters.

Here is a video titled "Demand Your Dignity" made to show girls how important abstaining from sex is. It features guys giving their advice to girls about how they should do their best to live chaste and not give in to sexual temptation. I invite you to watch this video and pass it along to your friends.

Acting like True Christians

On the start day of the Year of Faith, it bothered me to watch two Catholic Vice Presidential Candidates go at it on a debate last night and to watch as one "Catholic" smirked and laughed at another Catholic's ideas and opinions. It bothered me that a "Catholic" man was so rude and disrespectful. It really portrayed how important it is to really live your faith in the open. As Catholics and Christians, we are supposed to be kind, compassionate and respectful to all. After all, Jesus was even to those who disagreed with him. He loved them. Therefore, we should love everyone and to pray for each other too, regardless of who wins. Please pray for our country as we embark on our final weeks before the Presidential election.
