• Es demasiado fácil convertir la lucha de la fe en una santificación por lista de control. Ocúpate de algunos malos hábitos, desarrolla un par de buenos, y ya está. Pero una lista moral no toma en consideración los ídolos del corazón. Puede que ni siquiera el Evangelio forme parte de la ecuación. E inevitablemente, la espiritualidad de lista de control es altamente selectiva. Así que terminas sintiéndote exitoso en la santificación porque te mantuviste alejado de las drogas, perdiste peso, serviste en el comedor de beneficencia y renunciaste a la espuma de poliestireno. Pero has ignorado la mansedumbre, la humildad, la alegría y la pureza sexual.

  Kevin DeYoung

• Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment, it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine, which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge, it slays our need for it.

• Those who hope for purity and righteousness always try and destroy that which disturbs them. They think the disturbance comes from outside themselves. This is a serious problem. Wars, suicide bombings, and all sorts of other nasty things start from the premise that we can destroy 'evil' outside ourselves without dealing with the evil within.

• Chastity is the lily of virtues, and makes men almost equal to Angels. Everything is beautiful in accordance with its purity. Now the purity of man is chastity, which is called honesty, and the observance of it, honor and also integrity; and its contrary is called corruption; in short, it has this peculiar excellence above the other virtues, that it preserves both soul and body fair and unspotted.

  San Francisco de Sales

  Beautiful, Honesty, Integrity

• In temptations against chastity, the spiritual masters advise us, not so much to contend with the bad thought, as to turn the mind to some spiritual, or, at least, indifferent object. It is useful to combat other bad thoughts face to face, but not thoughts of impurity.
