Chastity

“If you wish to prevent evil thoughts, let your eyes be modestly reserved, and make a league with them never to look upon anything which is not permitted you to desire.”
St. Gregory of Nyssa

For Reflection:
St. Gregory of Nyssa recommends taking “custody of the eyes.” What does this mean? To what extent do I take in through the senses that which is morally illicit – especially regarding chastity? How can I best follow St. Gregory’s advice?
(See tomorrow’s Grace Line to discover how to protect all of the senses from sins against chastity.)
