SAINT JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE

PURITY


Vigilance and prayer are the safeguards of chastity. You should pray often and fervently to be preserved from temptations against purity, and for the grace to overcome them.
 
Guard your eyes that they may not look upon anything contrary to purity; your ears, that they may not listen to evil conversation; your mind, by banishing from it all suggestive thoughts; your heart, by stifling impure desires at their very birth.

Sins

Would we wish that our own hidden sins should be divulged? We ought, then, to be silent regarding those of others.

-- St. John Baptist de la Salle

Infection of Vices

Nothing can be more dangerous than evil companions. They communicate the infection of their vices to all who associate with them.
-- St. John Baptist de la Salle

Sins of Others

Would we wish that our own hidden sins should be divulged? We ought, then, to be silent regarding those of others.
