Chastity

“Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than not fearing danger. When a person puts himself in an occasion, saying ‘I shall not fall’ – it is an almost infallible sign that he will fall, and with great injury to his soul.”
St. Philip Neri

For Reflection:
What do I see as the connection between purity and humility? Do I exhibit pride by placing myself in the near occasion of sin? In what ways? I will confess my pride at the next opportunity.
