“It is he who, after having broken down the ramparts of his passions, ascends with force to the Kingdom of Heaven.”

                            ~St. Gregory the Great

For Reflection:

St. Gregory gives us insight into the reward of our efforts to remain chaste. What is it? Can I experience this reward even now? How has this been so in my own life?
