God has always shown special love for those whose ______ is outstanding
Chastity
The Sixth Commandment forbids all _________ and _________ in words, looks, and actions, whether alone or with others.
impurity and immodesty
regulates the expression of the rights of the married and excludes them outside the married state:
Purity
It is a form of temperance which inclines one to retain from what may lead to unlawful pleasure.
modesty
which is the unfaithfulness of a married person. It is a duty before God and men for married people to be true to each other.
Adultery
is a great evil which breaks up the harmony of the family, and brings punishments in this life and the next.
Adultery
is a holy state, through which Almighty God intends the propagation of the race.
matrimony
are permitted to the married, but positively forbidden to the unmarried.
matrimony
All_______ and ______ actions, whether committed alone or with others, are forbidden.
impure and immodest
When ________ is committed deliberately, it is always a mortal sin.
Impurity
What are the most common occasions of the sin against chastity?
- Idleness
- Bad companions and conversations.
- Too free companionship with the other sex.
- Immoral books, magazines and newspapers.
- Indecent shows, pictures, games.
- Immoral dances.
- Immodesty and excessive luxury in dress.
This is the parent of sin. Man is like the earth: if it is not planted to good seed, weeds grow on it fast. So a person is beset by all kind of evil temptations unless he has some worthwhile occupation.
Idleness
Bad companions are the cause for the fall into impurity of numberless young people.
Bad companions and conversations.
Undue familiarity between opposite sexes inflames passions, just as straw blazes up when brought near the fire. Girls and young women certainly know that if they want to be respected, they must respect themselves, and not permit men to be caressing them at all times.
Too free companionship with the other sex.
Many are in attractive garb, but enkindle the passions and do harm.
Immoral books, magazines and newspapers.
Bad shows, whether on the stage or in films, corrupt more subtly than immoral conversation, because what one sees leaves a stronger impression. Moreover, bad shows represent evil in attractive garb.
Indecent shows, pictures, games.
In itself, dancing is not reprehensible practice; it the manner that should be carefully guarded. At bad dances there are often women present who are very immodestly dressed. There is a further danger of excessive drinking.
Immoral dances.
A beautifully dressed girl is pleasing to look at. But the “art of looking nice” should not be indulged in excess. Women whose aim in life is to deck themselves in order to attract attention of men are putting themselves in a way of unchastity.
Immodesty and excessive luxury in dress.
means the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being.
chastity
in which man’s belonging to the bodily and biological world is expressed, becomes personal and truly human when it is integrated into the relationship of one person to another, in the complete and lifelong mutual gift of a man and a woman.
Sexuality
The Ninth Commandment forbids all thoughts and desires contrary to _______.
chastity
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart
(Mat.5:27-28)
An _______ _____ is the wish or intention to do something unchaste or impure. Almost always, sins against purity, thoughts and desires as well as acts, are grave or mortal sins. Whenever we are beset by the temptation, we should immediately pray, especially to our Beloved Mother, the purest of mortals.
impure desire
What are the other sins/offenses against chastity?
- Lust
- Masturbation
- Fornication
- Pornography
- Prostitution
- Rape
is disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes.
Lust
is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure.
Masturbation
is carnal union between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman. It is gravely contrary to the dignity of persons and of human sexuality which is naturally ordered to the good of spouses and the generation and education of children.
Fornication
consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other.
Pornography
does injury to the dignity of the person who engages in it, reducing the person to an instrument of sexual pleasure.
Prostitution
is the forcible violation of the sexual intimacy of another person. It does injury to justice and charity. It deeply wounds the respect, freedom, and physical and moral integrity to which every person has a right.
Rape
refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex.

“Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
(Mk. 14:38)
“Thus we follow the injunction: ‘Walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh’.”
(Gal. 5:16)
is ordered to the conjugal love of man and woman. In marriage the physical intimacy of the spouses becomes a sign and pledge of spiritual communion. Marriage bonds between baptized persons are sanctified by the sacrament.
Sexuality
by means of which man and woman give themselves to one another through the acts which are proper and exclusive to spouses, is not something simply biological, but concerns the innermost being of the human person as such.
Sexuality
expresses constancy in keeping one’s given word.
Fidelity
The ___________ __ __________ enables man and woman to enter into Christ’s fidelity for his Church.
Sacrament of Matrimony
Is a gift, an end of marriage, for conjugal love naturally tends to be fruitful. A child does not come from outside as something added on to the mutual love of the spouses, but springs from the very heart of that mutual giving, as its fruit and fulfillment.
Fecundity
