Purity Warriors

Confusedkid, if you look at a woman with lust in your heart, you have committed adultery in your heart and in the eyes of God. The key is of course the lust in your heart aspect, but let's face it, that is nearly inevitable for us. Yeah, I know, it's hard as hell.

Hello! I'm new here, I'm still in High School and beginning to really struggle with lust. I think? So here is my question: Is looking at girls legs/breasts/butt lust? and if so, is it a mortal sin? Wow, just posting that was soo hard to do. PLEASE HELP! YOU have the oppertunity to change my life in five minutes!

Hello please feel free to join my new group "Confraternity of Mary Queen of all Hearts" it was created in 1899 according to St. Louis de Montfort's wishes. The link is here: http://forums.catholic.com/group.php...322?styleid=18

GOD BLESS YOU +++

I have been doing good in the battle against Satan. Thanks to all those who prayed or pray for me!

And, by the way, Christine85. I want to thank you for including me in your prayers. Thank you SO much. Just my curiosity, how long does it take you to recite all 20 decades? Do you pray that throughout the day, or do you pray that in one long prayer? It is good that you can do that. I want to be like you - a "pray-er".

Hi Christine85,
What you said is all true. But I want to follow up on your old idea of achieving purity not only in the area of sex, but in all aspects of the soul. I picked up on that because I read the work of one theologian who said that the virtues of the heart are like the fingers of the hand. They are all connected and they grow together. This means that, if you grow in the other virtues like fortitude, justice, prudence, etc., then you will also grow in the virtue of temperance (which includes purity). Therefore, one way of achieving purity is to try to grow in all the other virtues as well. Do you get what I am saying?

hey rom422- Did you know there are things you can do which combat satan- I read in an interview with an exorcist, daily Mass, daily Rosary, blessing oneself with Holy Water, having a blessed crucifix in the home, and having an image of the Blessed virgin in the home, these things help combat evil. I can testify to this!!! Check out the Spiritual Warfare group and this website also : http://www.catholicwarriors.com/page...re_prayers.htm
I will pray for you. I aim to try an d say the Rosary completely )20 decades per day now) so you will be in my prayers May God bless you and keep you +++

I joined this group because I think I am a purity warrior, but a very lousy one. I hope you can assist me be a better warrior with your prayers.

I like Christine85's old post (Nov., 2010), where she suggested that this group think of purity not merely in terms of sex, but also in other areas such as gluttony, gossip, etc. Bright idea! Although for me I am still struggling with achieving perfect purity in my sex life. It is very difficult, even at my age!

You know what, I feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. During the day and with other people I am a very reputable professional. But at night, I become a monster and lustful desires haunt me terribly. No, I don't go around raping women. I'm not a pervert or a sex maniac. Just a weak soul. Please pray for me so that I will only be Dr. Jekyll and not become Mr. Hyde. Watch it, friends! You've got to make a lot of prayers if you really want to help me. Because I am fighting in an area where I am weakest.

Amen to that Coriann!!!

Hi Everyone...I'm new here! I joined because I am very much dedicated to helping others regain there purity and be chaste in both the single, married and celebate life. Purity is a virtue and one that is close to my heart. We were created in the image of God and guess what, it's the #1 place for the dirty devil to twist us around. So needless to say I am a warrior that will expose his dirty game whenever possible. We all fall but the good news is that the Lord gives us Grace to overcome temptation and win the battle!
