On the mountain Jesus
said, "Blessed are the pure of heart, for they
will see God." What a challenge, especially in a culture where from
every direction, it seems, come images and concepts which are so
contrary to the ideals of purity that Jesus preached. Here our young
people can teach us a great lesson.
In many dioceses through "True Love Waits" they are discussing among
themselves and committing themselves to live chastely until they marry
or make permanent their commitment in the vows of the consecrated life
or in the priesthood. There are thousands of them who speak with joy of
their walking in this way. Among them some hear the call of Jesus to
walk with a measure of heroism in response to a vocation to the
priesthood or to the consecrated life. The Lord bless you for what you
do to encourage them, most especially by praying for and recommending
vocations in your own family circles.
