New Advent

Saint of the Day

St. Bonaventure (1221-1274)
Cured of an illness in his youth by St. Francis, Bonaventure joined the Franciscans. He lectured at the University of Paris before becoming a Cardinal-Bishop. He instituted reforms, settled internal conflicts, and wrote the first biography of St. Francis. He is a Doctor of the Church.

Reflections from the Saints

When we pray, the voice of the heart must be heard more than that proceeding from the mouth.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2337

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 virtue of chastity therefore involves the integrity of the person and the integrality of the gift.
