What is Chastity?..

Hey Guys!
 
Thank you to all of you that made it to our last meeting. The topic of discussion was “Chastity.”  Johnny and James were courageous enough to make a dynamic presentation on this hot subject. Kudos to both our heroes J
 
Some of the questions we battled included:
 
(1)    The definition of chastity.
(2)    Is sex a gift or a pleasure giving activity.
(3)    Is abstinence possible or relevant in today’s society.
(4)    The consequence when sex is misused.
 
Simple Definition: Chastity is synonymous with sexual purity. Chastity means not having any sexual relations before marriage. It also means fidelity to husband or wife during marriage.
 
 
Below are some beautiful quotes on the subject
 
“Deep within yourself, listen to your conscience which calls you to be pure . . . a home is not warmed by the fire of pleasure which burns quickly like a pile of withered grass. Passing encounters are only a caricature of love; they injure hearts and mock God’s plan.”
– Pope John Paul II
 
“To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something as beautiful for him.”
– Mother Teresa
 
“Only the chaste man and the chaste woman are capable of true love.”
– Pope John Paul II
