Disillusioned Minds

gracelinesheader

"Purity? They ask. And they smile.repentance1 They are the very people who approach marriage with worn-out bodies and disillusioned minds. How I wish your bearing and conversation were such that, on seeing or hearing you, people would say: this man reads the life of Jesus Christ."                                            -St. Josemaria Escriva

For Reflection:

Why does an unchaste life lead to "worn-out bodies" and "disillusioned minds?" Does my bearing and conversation speak of my relationship with Jesus Christ.

We can trace the cross over our body while praying, "Lord, with this sign I strip off my evil tendencies, the residues of my old nature that still cling to me."  Then we can sign our selves again, praying , "O Holy Spirit, with this cross I put on Christ and ask you to help me behave as he did."
