I just had a saranac black & tan at work. Oh yeah, I'm cool.

Anyway, I haven't updated my xanga in ages obviously so consider this an update.

I'm hoping to move in a couple months and I can't wait. That's pretty much the biggest thing going on right now. I miss being able to phatmass and be online regularly... Such is life. Props to everyone who happens to read this.

1Thes.4:1-8

Finally, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.  For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from unchastity; that each one of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,  not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God;  that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you.  For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness.  Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives  his Holy Spirit to you.

I saw these quotes on a website and I had to snag'em.. These quotes rock! I hope you agree. 

"Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self."
- Mother Teresa

"Intense love does not measure . . . it just gives."
- Mother Teresa

"The person who does not decide to love forever will find it very difficult to really love for even one day."
- Pope John Paul II

"Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. This is why Christ the Redeemer 'fully reveals man to himself.'"
- Pope John Paul II

"There is no place for selfishness—and no place for fear! Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice"
- Pope John Paul II

"Real love is demanding. I would fail in my mission if I did not tell you so. Love demands a personal commitment to the will of God."
- Pope John Paul II


"Only the chaste man and the chaste woman are capable of true love."
- Pope John Paul II

"Chastity is a difficult, long term matter; one must wait patiently for it to bear fruit, for the happiness of loving kindness which it must bring. But at the same time, chastity is the sure way to happiness."
- Pope John Paul II

"Deep within yourself, listen to your conscience which calls you to be pure . . . a home is not warmed by the fire of pleasure which burns quickly like a pile of withered grass. Passing encounters are only a caricature of love; they injure hearts and mock God's plan."
- Pope John Paul II

"[God] has assigned as a duty to every man the dignity of every woman."
- Pope John Paul II

"To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at a price, the price of knowing God and loving him enough to do his will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as something as beautiful for him."
- Blessed Mother Teresa

"Holy Purity is granted by God when it is asked for with humility."
- St. Josemaria Escriva

"By Lust I mean that affection of the mind that aims at the enjoyment of one's self and one's neighbor without reference to God."
- St. Augustine

"When you decide firmly to lead a clean life, chastity will not be a burden on you: it will be a crown of triumph."
- St. Josemaria Escriva

"Purity is the fruit of prayer."
- Blessed Mother Teresa

"Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity."
- St. John Henry Cardinal Newman

"Temptation is necessary to make us realize that we are nothing in ourselves."
- St. Josemaria Escriva

I'm making two entries in one day to make up for all those days I skipped. :)

Love is self-giving, but I suppose because of sin, real love often includes sacrifice. I believe that a true lover in this life ought to have a spirit of sacrifice. This is how love proves itself and defeats the darkness that has cast its shadow upon this world.
The scenario I'm thinking of is that of a young person in a relationship who is tempted to do physical things with the person they're dating. They experience a desire to express their feelings physically and to enjoy the pleasures of passionate kissing and all that, but this person automatically thinks of their future spouse, and out of a spirit of sacrificial love, refuses to give in to these feelings.
I see great beauty in this. I think this would be the best approach for chastity education. It is useful to inform people about the dangers and harms of STD's and all of that, but true chastity cannot exist without embracing sacrificial love.
