“Holy purity, the queen of virtues, the angelic virtue, is a jewel so precious that those who possess it become like the angels of God in heaven, even though clothed in mortal flesh.”

                                -St. John Bosco
For Reflection:

What does the word “purity” mean to me? How do I demonstrate it? (Consider thoughts, words, and deeds.) With regard to purity, would someone describe me as an angel “clothed in mortal flesh”? Why or why not? What am I willing to do about it?
