What Is Chastity?

What is Chastity? By rosaryfilms of Secret of the Rosary. Credits at the end of the video.

The human body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Chastity is the virtue which excludes or moderates the indulgence of the sexual appetite.

The virtue of chastity is self-restraint and allows us to master our sexual impulses.

The virtue of chastity seeks to permeate the passions and appetites of the senses with reason.

As such, its motive would be the natural decency seen in the control of the sexual appetite, according to the norm of reason.

Such a motive springs from the dignity of human nature, which, without this rational sway, is degraded to brutish levels.

Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being.

Sexuality, 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.

The practice of the virtue of chastity is impossible without the grace of God.

Jesus Christ is the model of chastity. Every baptized person is called to lead a chaste life, each according to his particular state of life.

Lovely video, I am glad at the end it mentioned Jesus and Mother Mary lived chaste lives. I was a little disappointed that the footage only showed women and flowers as if chastity were for women only. Women so often are held to a higher standard. Even in the Bible the woman was caught in the act of adultery and was about to be stoned, but what about the man? God is merciful and just but man has double standards. Thank God Jesus saved the woman from the hypocrites. Male chastity needs promotion

The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Catholic Encyclopedia and some quotes from the Fathers of the Church, etc.. All quotes of course are consistent with Scriptures. Thanks
