"Love is the fundamental and innate vocation of every human being." By creating the human being man and woman, God gives personal dignity equally to the one and the other. Each of them, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his/her sexual identity. Every baptized person is called to lead a chaste life, each according to his/her particular state of life. Chastity means the integration of sexuality within the person. It includes an apprenticeship in self-mastery. Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography and homosexual practices. The covenant which spouses have freely entered into entails 'faithful love'. It imposes on them the obligation to keep their marriage indissoluble. (Ref. CCC 2392-2397)
Prayer :
God, the Most Pure, create in me a true desire to be pure in heart. May my every thought, word and deed be pure in your sight. Purify my senses and may there be pure love and not lust in the way I relate. Bless me with the courage it takes to stand by purity come what may.
