Why I Choose to Live Out Chastity


I have 1,500 pageviews! My blog has grown more than I imagined it could in such a short amount of time. A lot of work has gone into it, and I have learned so much from this experience. 

One thing I really want to talk about is why I choose to live out chastity and why it is so important. I've come across many people who do not agree with what I believe, and it is difficult. It truly is. The world teaches young people a different definition of what love is, and in order to find real love, we have to trust and believe in God's divine purpose for love. Many people are unaware of what that means. To understand what that means, we have to look at Christ.

The Virtue of Humility


I have a Pinterest account, and on it, I follow a lot of Catholic boards, which often will post religious images, prayers, and quotes. It occupies 95% of my news feed. Ever since Lent began, I have seen one specific prayer multiple times. The Litany of Humility kept popping up in my feed, and I finally decided to look at it and pray it. It was one of the hardest prayers I have ever said. It asks for deliverance from our own fears and desires, to change our focus from ourselves to others and, most importantly, to God.
